Editing Users

The Edit User screen, as shown in Figure 5-10, is used to change your own password or community string. This option is available only for users with security access level.

No user can directly change another user’s password or community string. If you are a system administrator and wish to change another user’s password, you need to log on as the other user.

Figure 5-10 Edit User Screen

The options are similar to the Create User screen, see “Creating Users” on page 5-17. The main differences are the password fields. You must type in your current password in the Old Password field before you can change any fields. To set a new password, enter the password in both the New Password and Confirm Password fields.

If you enter different values for the New Password and Confirm Password fields, an error message is displayed when the OK button is selected. If [Return] is then pressed, a null password is set for the user. The user can log in but if an attempt is made to change the password again, the message ‘Old Password Field Not Completed’ is displayed.

If you forget your password, refer to the advice in “Problems When Using Quick Config Manager” on page 6-3.
