Changing a user password

Edit online

Only users can change their own passwords.

About this task

Administrators cannot change any user passwords except their own. If a user forgets the password, an administrator must delete the user's access, re-add the user to the basic user registry, and set a default password that the user can change.
Note: Only users from the basic user registry can change their password. This option is not available to LDAP users, or users from a z/OS operating system repository, such as RACF.
Users can perform the following steps at the GUI to change their own password:

Procedure

  3. Enter a new password in the Password field.
  4. Retype the new password to confirm.
  5. Click Next. A message indicates that the password was successfully changed.
  6. Click Finish to exit the wizard.
