Modifying Your Password

There are times when you are required to modify your password:

  • When logging on to the system for the very first time.
  • When the system alerts you that a certain time period has elapsed and you must modify your password (for example, every 60 days).

Note: Your password:

  • must be at least 6 characters long,
  • cannot contain 3 repeating characters,
  • cannot be reused within a cycle of 6 unique passwords,
  • cannot be the same as the user ID, and
  • expires in 60 days.

Steps

  1. In the main menu, click Profile. The Profile window appears.

  2. At the bottom of the window, click Change Password. The Change Password window appears.

  3. Type your old password then type your new password.
  4. Type your new password in the Confirm New Password box.
  5. Click Change.

Result

The system saves the new password and decommissions the use of the previous password.
