Change My Password Information

You use the Password Information dialog box to change your password and/or password hint.

Note: Depending on the rights assigned to you by your system administrator, you may not have access to this dialog box. If you click Profile on the tool bar and Password Information is not a choice, then you cannot change your own password. You must contact your system administrator to change it. However, if your password expires, or if you receive a warning that it will expire, the system lets you change your password with a separate Change Password dialog box.

To add or change your password information:

  1. From the tool bar, click Profile and select Password Information to open the Password Information dialog box.

  2. In the Current Password field, enter your current password and press the Tab key. The other password fields become editable only after the system validates your current password.

  3. Edit the following fields as needed:

  4. New Password - Enter a value difficult to guess. It must be at least 6 characters long. Your company may have other requirements, such as a longer password or a numeric or symbol character. The system displays an error message if the value you enter is not valid.

  5. Verify New Password - Enter your new password again.

  6. Password Hint Question - Click Select Value to select from a list of possible questions.

An administrator can use the password question and answer to verify your identity if you become blocked from using the system.

  1. Click OK.
