Changing the Password for an Administrator

To change an administrator's password, select Change Password from the Admin GUI. To modify the password:

1. Select the administrative user from the Administrator ID pop-up list.

2. Type the administrator's existing password in the Old Password field.

3. Type the administrator's new password in the New Password field.

4. Type the administrator's new password a second time in the Re-enter New Password field.

5. Click Change Password to apply this change.

When you click Change Password, the AnswerBook2 software checks to see that the data entered in the New Password and Re-enter New Password fields agree. If they do, the new password is stored in the database. If they do not, the software displays an error.

You can also use the following command to perform this function:

% /usr/lib/ab2/bin/ab2admin -o change_password -u admin-id [-m server_name] [-p server_port]
