3.17.1.4 Change a User's Password without Knowing the Existing One
For users in the 'System Administrator' workgroup is possible to change a user’s password without the need to know
the old one. This is useful if a user has forgotten his/her password. When deciding on the password. It is
recommended that passwords have the following attributes:
Be at least seven characters long.
Use a mixture of upper and lower case characters, e.g. A and a.
Use some numeric characters, e.g. IlikeFruit7.
Be significantly different from previously used passwords.
Should not use common or guessable names associated with yourself, e.g. love or your partner’s name.
Note that you will not be able to re-use a password, or use one that has been used by another user.
If a user’s password is changed in this way, the next time they log in they will be forced to change their password to
