## How to Change the password for your key

| ### What to do:
| Before the private key is used for the first time the password must be changed. The corresponding dialogue opens automatically.
| Select Tools > Options > Own Keys. The mask Own Keys is opened.
| Click with the right mouse button on the highlighted entry and select Change Password from context menu. A read-out window is opened.
| Saving the button enables you to save the password until exiting the system. This function is only available if it is released by the administrator!
| Enter the old password and click OK. A second read-out window is opened.
| Enter a new password and click OK. A third read-out window is opened.
| Be aware that your password must be at least 6 characters long. For security reasons you should not use your Agile e6 password.
| Enter the new password again and click OK. Your personal key is now encoded with the new password.
