Change an operator password using Discrete Button

If you do not plan on showing the Special menu in WindowViewer, you can create a discrete button and link it to the $ChangePassword internal tag. When the value of $ChangePassword tag is set to 1, the Change Password dialog box appears. Operators can then change their passwords. When the operator closes the dialog box, the system resets the $ChangePassword value to 0. This is a system discrete tag intended for write operation only.
