Change Password Link

You can change your password using the Change Password link in the Settings portlet when you are logged in to NetSuite. You must first enter the password you used to log in to your account, and then enter a new password. You must provide your password to ensure the security of your account.

Important:

If you do not find the Change Password link in your Settings portlet check the role you are currently logged in with. It is possible that the role does not have the permission needed to change the password. Try switching to another role, or contact your Administrator.

You can also reset your password if you are unable to log in because you forgot your password. For more information, see Getting Access When You Forget Your Password.

To change your password:

  1. Find the Settings portlet on the Home page. If you cannot locate the Settings portlet, see Finding Your Settings Portlet.

    Tip:

    The Settings portlet can appear anywhere on a customized Home page (or dashboard). By default, it is located on the left side, and you might need to scroll down to see it.
