Introduction

The Change Password function allows you to change your own password. This is a different function from the User Administration function that allows an Administrator to change the passwords of other users. However, the Change Password function can also be used by the Administrator to change the default Admin password created during installation. (This is often the first thing that an Administrator does, for security reasons.)

When the Administrator adds a new user to the list of authorized users, he or she gives the new user a user name and a temporary password. When that user opens ECMap for the first time, he or she must use the user name and temporary password assigned by the Administrator. However, the user can then use the Change Password function to change the temporary password. (The user name itself cannot be changed. In order for a user name to be changed, the Administrator would have to delete the user name and add a new one.)
