Change passwords
You can use the Password button to change password at run time. Any password changes
made at run time are saved in the .mer file.
The Password button supports two modes of run-time operations:
 Allows the user to modify their own password
 Allows the user to modify any user password
When designing the application in FactoryTalk View Studio, you must consider which
users and groups can access this button, and how to control that access.
The Password button operational mode is configured in FactoryTalk View Studio, and
cannot be changed at runtime.
For 5.00 and later applications, it is recommended that you can convert the run-time application
mer file to a development application in order to preserve password changes the next time the
runtime application file is created.
For versions prior to 5.00, it is recommended that when passwords are changed at run time, the
same password changes are made on the development computer. Otherwise, the next time you
create the .mer file, the password changes will be lost.
For more information, see page 14-6.
The passwords for Windows-linked users can only be changed in Windows.
For 3.20 and earlier applications, you cannot change passwords in FactoryTalk View ME Station.
To change a password for a FactoryTalk View user, use the Runtime Security editor in
FactoryTalk View Studio, and then recreate the run-time application and download the .mer file
again. To change a password for a Windows user, use the Windows Control Panel.
