Changing user passwords

Learn how to change user passwords in the Integrated Virtualization Manager.

Use the padmin user account for this task.
To change a user password, do the following:
  1. From the IVM Management menu, click View/Modify User Accounts. A list of user accounts is displayed.
  2. Select the user account for which you want to change the password.
  3. Click Change password. The Change Password window displays.
  4. Enter the new password.
  5. Confirm the new password, and then click OK. The password is changed, and the list of user accounts is displayed again.

The next time that the user logs in to Integrated Virtualization Manager, the password change takes effect, and the user is required to change it.

The management partition on the managed system uses the same user accounts as the Integrated Virtualization Manager. This means that the password change that you make here also applies to the management partition user account.

Users can change their own user passwords by clicking Edit my profile in the toolbar.
