Changing a Password

The Change Password option lets users change their password. This system administration function is available to all users.

Note: The admin user can change the password for any user.

If the system administrator has configured your account for password expiration, you will receive a warning when you log in that you must change your password.

Note: To reset the administrator password, it is recommended to contact My Oracle Support (MOS).

To change a password:

From the System Administration section of the navigation pane, select Change Password.
The Account Management page opens. If your account is set up with a password expiration period, the expiration date is displayed.
Enter your Current Password.
Enter your New Password.
The password is case sensitive. Depending on your system settings, the password must meet the following requirements:
- Cannot contain the username.
- Must contain the minimum number of characters (default is six).
- Must contain characters as specified from the following categories:
  - Must contain at least the specified number of lower case letters.
  - Must contain at least the specified number of upper case letters.
  - Must contain at least the specified number of numbers.
  - Must contain at least the specified number of symbols.
Note: Consult with your system administrator to obtain the password criteria for your system.
Re-enter your new password to Confirm Password.
Note: If your new password does not conform to the password strength rules configured for your system, a validation error message appears that includes valid password criteria. Enter and confirm another password that conforms to the criteria.
Click Change Password.

Your password is changed.
