This article shows how to set up and use the Change Password function in IGEL OS.

Menu path: Security > Change Password





With this function, the user can change the password or PIN for the login method he used for his current session, provided one of the following login methods was used:

  • Active Directory with username and password

  • Active Directory with third-party smartcard

  • Local user password



The starting methods parameters are described under (12.4-de_orig) Startmethoden für Apps. 

If autostart is enabled in the starting methods, the Change Password function is presented after login.



When a password change is required, a dialog informing the user is presented after login. When the user clicks the password change button in this dialog, the Change Password function starts automatically.



Using Change Password

To change your password for your current login method, proceed as follows:

  1. Start the Change Password function.


  2. Enter the changed password or PIN in the dialog. The dialog differs according to the login method that is currently used.


  3. Click OK.
    The password is changed.
