Changing Admin Passwords

You can change the passwords for peer administrators or yourself.

Note: To change settings in the Admins tab, you must have View permission to view the Admins tab and Edit permission for Manage Administrator.

If peer administrators forget their passwords, you can assign them new ones from the Admins tab. If you need to change or reset your own password, see Changing or Resetting Your Password.

To change an admin's password:

• From the drop-down menu below your email address in the upper right corner of the page, select Administrators.


The Admin panel displays.


• For the admin whose password you want to change, click Edit.

• In the Password field, enter a new password. Use a minimum of seven alphanumeric characters.

• In the Retype Password field, re-enter the password.

• Click the Save button.
• Notify the administrator about the password.
  The Web Security Service does not generate an automated email for password changes.
