Changing your Password

If you work in a multi-user installation and have been given your user ID and password by the system manager, 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.) If you work in a single-user installation and have set up your user ID yourself, this isn't necessary.

Note

Passwords do not have time limits in Navision. If you want to set time limits for access, you can place an expiration date on the user ID, or you can choose an allowed posting period for each user. Open the User Setup window, to limit the posting period.

To Change your Password:

  1. Click Tools, Security, Password and the Change Password window opens.

    The user ID and user name, which appear in the two uppermost fields, cannot be changed here. To change them, click Tools, Security, Users.

  2. In the Current Password field, enter your current password. (Remember to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters.)

  3. In the New Password field, enter your new password.

  4. Confirm the new password by entering it again in the Reenter New Password field. This verifies that you entered it correctly the first time and that you can remember it. The password will not appear when you enter it, and you cannot see it anywhere else in the program.

    If a message appears informing that the password is incorrect, there are two possible causes:

  5. Click OK if you want to change the password; click Cancel to stop the password from being changed. If you do change the password (that is, click OK), the program will log you out, and you will have to use your new password to restart Navision.
