The password expired Message

If you receive a Your password has expired message it means that your password has reached its age limit and expired. In other words, the password has been in use for too long and you must choose a new password at this time. (See "Choosing a Password", for criteria that a new password must meet.)

In this case, choosing a new password is a three-step process:

  1. Type your old password at the Enter login password (or similar) prompt.

    Your keystrokes are not shown on your screen.

  2. Type your new password at the Enter new password prompt.

    Your keystrokes are not shown on your screen.

  3. Type your new password again at the Re-enter new password prompt.

    Your keystrokes are not shown on your screen.
