- Enter a privileged user name and password for the P6 Professional database.
- Enter the Server Name, Database Name, and Port Number for the P6 Professional database.
- Click the Reset Application User Password tab.
- In the Application User Name field, select a user whose password you want to reset.
- In the New Password field, enter a new password for the selected user.
- In the Confirm New Password field, enter the password again, to verify it.
- Click Save to continue working or click Save and Close if you are finished.
Notes:
- If the Enable password policy setting is selected in the Password Policy field of the Admin Preferences dialog box (P6 Professional Only), enter a password that is a minimum of 8 characters long, and that contains one alpha and one numeric character.
- If the Enable password policy setting is not selected, enter a password up to 20 characters long.
- If P6 Professional is running in LDAP authentication mode, password management is handled through the directory server. You cannot change your password through the Administration Configuration tool and the Reset Application User Password tab is not selectable.
- Passwords are case-sensitive.
- Passwords that were set before the new password policy was enabled are valid and usable.
