Passwords

If you are using database authentication to access Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you must enter a password to gain access to the database.

If you work in a multiuser installation and have been given your user ID and password by the system administrator, it is a good idea to change your password the first time you use the program. (That way you can be sure that you are the only one who knows it.) This is not necessary if you work in a single-user installation and have set up your own user ID.

Note

Passwords do not have time limits in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. If you want to set time limits for access, you can place an expiration date on the user ID or you can specify an allowed posting period for each user. You can do this in the Main Menu by clicking General Ledger, Setup, Users, User Setup.

If you forget your password or user ID, you will be allowed an unlimited number of attempts to enter it. You can also request a new password from a user who has permission to change other people's passwords.

If all the users have forgotten their user IDs or passwords (passwords are encrypted, so they cannot be seen anywhere in the program), you should contact your Microsoft Dynamics Partner.
