Changing the access password

Learn how to change the access password after creating a new configuration.

Note: You only need to work with the access password if you previously changed it, and you are managing the access password for this connection yourself.

You can change the password used to access the service tools device ID information at any time after the creation of a new local console on a network (LAN) configuration. If you are working with partitions, you can change this password for the corresponding partition.

Important: The password is case sensitive and can be a maximum of 128 characters of mixed case. You use this password during the connection process to sign on through the LAN Service Device Sign-on window. This password is only used at the PC and is unknown to the server.

To use the connection properties to change the access password, follow these steps:

Select the connection name that you will be changing the access password for.
Click Connection > Properties. If the configured connection is not in a disconnected state, you receive a message explaining that changes might not be reflected until the next connection. Click OK to continue.
Select the Access Password tab.
For Current Password field, enter what you currently use for the access password.
Enter the new password into the New Password and Confirm password fields, and then click OK.
