Change Your Password
To change your password, first enter your old password.
Then enter your new password twice.
Choose between the following two methods for saving your password:
- CRYPT
- If the CRYPT mechanism is used, the password is
encrypted with a modified DES algorithm. This mechanism is the
standard for Unix systems.
The maximum length of a password is eight characters.
- SMD5
- The SMD5 mechanism encrypts the password using the
MD5 hashing algorithm. It enables the use of longer passwords
than the CRYPT algorithm.
- SHA or SSHA
- The SHA and SSHA mechanism encrypts the password
using the "Secure Hash Algorithm" (SHA). It enables the use of
longer passwords than the CRYPT algorithm. When using SSHA, the
hash is seeded with some random bytes.
To activate the new password, click Confirm.
