How users change their
password
When the software has been
customized
to be connected to the
LogTag User Server
software, the network administrator may require and/or permit users to change the
password used to logon to the software. Users are only permitted to change the password
for the user account that is currently logged on, which is typically their own, and as a
security precaution, users will always need to supply their current logon password before
being permitted to change it.
The network administrator may enforce certain rules pertaining to what is a valid
password. For example, they may require a minimum number of characters (digits, letters
or symbols) and/or a minimum number of digits to be included in the password. Please
contact your network administrator if you have problems with the logging on the
software.
Passwords should be chosen such that they would be difficult for some one else to guess.
If another person was able to guess the password they would be able to logon and
impersonate the user. Therefore, following are a few points to remember when changing
a password:
1 Do not use something that is personal to the user. Birth dates, license plate numbers,
names of family members, types of vehicles owned, favorite foods and address of
residence are all examples of passwords that should NOT be used.
2 Do not write it down.
3 Change the password on a regular basis.
If a user's password is forgotten, the network administrator will be able to change it.
However, network administrators will not be able to see and therefore inform users what
their current password is.
