Change the password of the current account

You can use the Change Network Account utility to change the password of the user account for System Platform communication. If you select Cancel before saving your password changes, the user account reverts to the existing password.

The Change Network Account utility reboots the computer after changing the password. You should close all open applications on the computer before changing the password.

To change the password of the current account

1. In the Password and Confirm Password boxes, type the same new password. When you start the Change Network Account Utility, the Password and Confirm Password boxes are empty.

   Note: You can paste into the Password and Confirm Password fields but, for security reasons, you cannot copy from them to the clipboard.

2. Select OK to save the new password.

   A confirmation dialog box appears and you are prompted to restart your computer. This is a requirement. Close all open applications, if necessary.

3. Select OK to reboot the computer.
