Operations Menu - Change Password

Once a user or employee has been entered to the Person register, they will be able to log in to and use your Hansa database. For security reasons, therefore, it is recommended that all Persons have their own passwords and that these are changed from time to time.

To set a password for a Person, highlight their name in the 'Persons: Browse' window and select 'Change Password' from the Operations menu. The following window is opened:

Enter the old password if there is one and then type in the new one twice to ensure that it is correct. Press the Shift-Enter key combination to close the window and save: use the close box if you do not want to save changes. The password is case-sensitive.

Each Person can also change their own password, even if they do not have access to the System module. Open the Master Control panel (or bring it to the front) and select 'Change Password' from the Operations menu. Then, follow the instructions above.

If you want to set rules for passwords (e.g. to impose a minimum number of characters, or to require at least one alpha or numeric character), use the Password Security setting.
