Forcing a New
Password
Occasionally, users forget passwords. In such circumstances, you cannot look up the
password: you must force a new password. To force a new password for a user ID,
follow these instructions:
1. Move to the User ID Management Services : Primary Menu panel.
2. Type F in the Select Option field.
3. Move the cursor to the User field and type the user ID for which you want to
assign a new password.
4. Press the ENTER key.
NonStop NET/MASTER MS displays an abbreviated form of the UMS : User
Details panel, shown next. Note that the abbreviated UMS : User Details panel
does not require you to know the current password of the user ID.

NonStop NET/MASTER MS writes a message to its activity log, recording the fact
that you changed the UMS database.
