CHANGING YOUR GROUPWISE DESKTOP CLIENT PASSWORD

1. On a PC, open the Tools menu and select Options.
   
   On a Mac, open the Edit menu and select Preferences.
   
   
2. In the Options window, double-click on the Security icon.
   
   
3. In the Security window, click on the Passwords tab.
   
   
4. Enter your old password and press the Tab key.
   
   
5. Enter a new password, then press the Tab key.
   
   Note: Your new password should be 6-8 characters long.
   
   Any mix of letters and numbers is fine, but remember that GroupWise passwords are case-sensitive. This means that PassWord, password, PASSWORD and PaSsWoRd are all treated as DIFFERENT passwords by the Novell authentification system.
   
6. Enter your new password in the Confirm box.
   
   Note: For security reasons, we strongly recommend that you do not check off the box for "Remember my password".
   
   
7. Click OK, and you're done.
   
   Note: Changing your password on the GroupWise desktop client also changes it for GroupWise WebAccess, the Novell network, MessageScreen, and Moodle.
