The first time you log on the AS/400 you will be forced to change your password before continuing.
- Press <Enter>to change your password.
- At the "Current Password" field, type `xx' followed by the last six digits of your social security number (ie. xx999999) NOTE: nothing you type on this screen will be displayed to ensure that no one views your password as you type it.
- Press <Tab>or <Field Exit>.
- For the "New Password" field, type the password you would like to use when you sign on to the computer. It must not exceed 10 characters, it must begin with a alphabetic character and the remaining characters may be any combination of alphabetic, numeric characters. Note: Try not to make it too difficult, you will need to know it to sign on the AS/400 again.
- Press <Tab>or <Field Exit>
- At the "New Password (to verify)" field, type in your new password for a second time to make sure you have entered it correctly. If you have entered it incorrectly you will get an error message and your initial password will still be `xx' followed by the last four digits of your social security number.
- Press <Enter>
- Upon completion, the following message will be displayed:
Password changed successfully
- Read the following screens, pressing <Enter>to exit each one, until you reach the AS/400 Main Menu screen.
Later on when you want to change your password, type CHGPWD on the command line and go through the same steps.
