SUMMARY

After you install the Client Service for NetWare, if you want to change your password on one or several NetWare servers, connect to all the NetWare servers and then run the Setpass command.

MORE INFORMATION

To change your password on a NetWare server, do the following:

  1. From the Main Program group, start the Command Prompt, and use the NET USE command to connect to the NetWare server's SYS: volume.

  2. Change to the drive of the NetWare server and change to the PUBLIC directory by typing the following: 

          cd \public

  3. To change the password of a NetWare server, type the following: 

          Setpass <name of NetWare server>

  4. When prompted, enter your old password.

  5. When prompted, enter a new password.

  6. When prompted, retype your new password to confirm it. The server confirms that you have successfully changed your password.

  7. If you are connected to other NetWare servers that also use your old password, you are prompted to change the password on these servers.

  8. Type "Y" (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER to change the passwords for the servers.
