Logging On With an Expired Password
Your password can have an extension or grace period during which it can be changed
after expiration. If you have ignored warnings of a pending password expiration date
and allowed your password to expire, you can change your password during the grace
period. The following example shows how support.jane can change her expired
password during the grace period:
SAFEGUARD 1> LOGON support.jane
Password: alpha4
Password expired
Enter new password: BigTop
Reenter new password: BigTop
The password for support.jane has been changed.

Similarly, support.jane could enter the new password and verification on the same line:
SAFEGUARD 1> LOGON support.jane
Password: alpha4
Password expired
Enter new password: BigTop,BigTop
The password for support.jane has been changed.

Logging On With Displayable Passwords
In the standard Safeguard configuration, passwords are not accepted if entered on the
LOGON command line. If the Safeguard configuration has been changed so that
passwords are allowed on the LOGON command line, you can use the following
Note. If the PASSWORD program is available on your system, you can use it to change your
password after you log on. For instructions on the use of the PASSWORD program, refer to the
Guardian User’s Guide.
