Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
Database Administration

> ## Changing a password

> Users can change their own passwords; they do not need security administrator privileges.

> | To change your password:

> 1. Access the Data Administration tool if you are using a graphical interface or access the Data Dictionary if you are using a character interface.

> 2. Choose Admin Security Change Your Password. The Data tool prompts you to enter your password.

> 3. Enter your password. Remember that passwords are case sensitive. The Data tool prompts you to verify the new password.

> As security administrator, you can change a user’s user ID or password, but only do so by deleting and then re-creating the user record. This way, users cannot be locked out of a database if they forget their user IDs or passwords.

> Do not try to bypass the Data Dictionary or Data Administration tool to modify passwords. You might lock yourself out of the database.
