Changing Your Site Administrator Information

Quick-start guide:  home 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

You can change your Site Administrator password and email contact address at any time. You cannot change your Site Administrator user name, however.

For increased security, change your Site Administrator password after you first log on to the Site Administrator control panel and periodically thereafter.

Important: When you change your Site Administrator password, you are also changing the password you use to access email, FTP, Telnet, and SSH as Site Administrator. These services all use the same password and are updated automatically when you change it.

However, if your site uses Microsoft FrontPage Extensions, be aware that the Microsoft FrontPage Administrator password is independent of the Site Administrator password. It is the same initially, but it does not update automatically. You can change the FrontPage Administrator user name or password using the FrontPage Extension Permission Management Interface.

To change your Site Administrator information:

1. Click the Shortcuts tab on the Home page.
   

   To get to the Home page, click Home on the navigation bar at left.

2. In the shortcuts area, click Change Password (Tools section). The Edit Site Administrator form is displayed.
3. In the New Password field, enter a new password.
4. In the Confirm New Password field, retype the password.
5. In the Administrator Email field, enter the email address at which you want to receive email notifications.
6. Click Update.
