After Your EAP-FAST Password Expires

If the EAP-FAST password for your current profile expires or becomes invalid, follow these steps to change your password.

However, data packets may be dropped during this process.

Step 1 When the Please Change Password window appears (see Figure 6-2) to indicate that your password is invalid, enter your old password in the Old Password field.
