Changing your password

Depending on how your HCP user account is set up, HCP may authenticate your username and password locally or remotely when you log in. If your account is set up for local authentication, you can change your password in the System Management Console. When you change your password in this Console, it also changes for any other HCP interfaces to which your user account gives you access.

If your account is set up for remote authentication or if you use an AD user account to access the Console, you use a method outside HCP to change your password.

For information about local and remote authentication, see User authentication.

To change your locally authenticated password in the System Management Console:

1.Log into the System Management Console using your existing password.

2.In the top right corner of the Console window, click Password.

3.On the Change Password page:

oIn the Existing password field, type your current password.

oIn the New password field, type your new password. Passwords can be up to 64 characters long, are case sensitive, and can contain any valid UTF-8 characters, including white space.

To be valid, a password must include at least one character from two of these three groups: alphabetic, numeric, and other.

The minimum length for passwords is system specific. Typically, it’s six or eight characters. For information about changing the minimum length for passwords, see Changing user account and login settings.

When changing your password, you cannot reuse your current password.

oIn the Confirm New Password field, type your new password again.

4.Click Update Password.
