Changing a Password
A user with Edit permissions for User Accounts can change password for any accounts
at any time. See the Using the User Account Editor section.
You can change your password using the Change User Password feature:
1. Move your cursor over the Users icon in the System Configuration bar in the left
navigation pane.
2. Click the Change User Password icon:
3. Enter the old password once and the new password twice in the appropriate fields.
4. Click Save.
User Account Passwords Using Double Byte Character Sets
Double byte characters cannot be directly entered in the Password field at the Web
Server User Interface or in FINlite.
At the Web Server User Interface there are password fields at the authentication page,
the User Account editor, and the password reset editor.
In FINlite there are password fields whenever a connection is being made to a panel.
You have the following options for passwords:
1. Use only single byte characters for user account passwords. This option does not
require special procedures to enter the user account password at the Web Server
User Interface or in FINlite.
Use double byte characters for user account passwords. This option requires
copying the characters from another field (such as the User Name field) or another
application (such as Notepad) and pasting the characters into the password field at
the Web Server User Interface or in FINlite. The location from which the characters
are copied must support viewing of the double byte characters appropriately.
