Setting a password from the Users Administration page

Use this procedure to change an existing user's password and/or make the password temporary.

Note:

Only an administrative user may use this procedure. For information about how a non-administrative user can change a password, see Setting a password from the System Login page.

1. Select Administration > Access Control > Users.

   The Users administration page appears.

2. Select the appropriate user from the listing.
3. Click Change Password.

   The User [Set Password] administration page appears. The selected user account name appears in bold at the top of the change password dialogue box.

4. Enter a password in the New Password field. Retype the same password in the Retype New Password field.

   The system verifies that the values entered in both fields match. For information on valid passwords, see Passwords.

5. Select the checkbox next to Force password change on next login if desired.
   Administrators typical select this for single user accounts.
6. Click Continue.
   The Users administration page re-appears. A confirmation message is displayed at the top of the page indicating the result of the action.

The password has been updated in the database. The change will take effect the next time the user attempts to log in to the user interface.
