In the Change Password window, enter a new password, confirm it, and click OK to view the OFSAA Login window. Refer to the following guidelines for Password Creation:

• Passwords are displayed as asterisks (stars) while you enter. This is to ensure that the password is not revealed to other users.
• Ensure that the entered password is at least six characters long.
• The password must be alphanumeric with a combination of numbers and characters.
• The password should not contain spaces.
• Passwords are case sensitive and ensure that the Caps Lock is not turned ON.
• By default, the currently used password is checked for validity if password history is not set.
• The new password should be different from previously used passwords based on the password history, which can be configured. For more information, see the Configuration section in System Configuration chapter.
