Description
If you have the necessary security rights, you may use the Change Password page to change the password you use to sign in to the program. If you sign in after a System Administrator resets your password, the program displays the New Password page, so you may enter your new password for the system. Depending on the System Defaults administration page settings, the program may be enforcing minimum password character requirements. The program displays the password rules at the bottom of the page (e.g., "Minimum number of characters: 5"). If one or more password rules are in place and the password you enter does not meet the new standards, the program alerts you and prompts you to reenter a different password. The program does not allow you to save a password that does not meet these rules.
Access
- Select Change Password on the Application page to access the Change Password page.
- Sign in after a System Administrator resets your password to access the New Password page.
- Sign in after a System Administrator changes the password requirements with a password that does not meet the new standards.
