Changing User Password

Users can change their account passwords without the aid of the administrator. Syslog maintains a record of the users who have changed their passwords, which reduces the workload of the administrator.
  1. From the Unleashed web interface header, click the icon (located in the upper-right corner of the web interface) and select Change Password.
  2. In the Change Password dialog box, enter the following information:
    1. For Current Password, enter your current password.
    2. For New Password, enter your new password that fulfils the following criteria:
      • The password must be at least 8 characters in length (maximum is 32 characters).
      • Must include at least one lowercase letter and one uppercase letter.
      • Must include at least one number.
      • Must include at least one special character including ASCII characters from char 33 (!) to char 126 (~). The password cannot include the special characters char 96 (`) or chars 36 and 40 ($() in succession, but char 36 ($ and char 40 (() can be used separately in the password.
    3. For Confirm New Password, enter your new password again.
