Changing User Passwords for Protected Directories

Note: This topic is for systems without Microsoft FrontPage Extensions. If you have FrontPage Extensions enabled, you need to use the FrontPage interface to manage protected directories.

You can change the passwords users enter when they access protected directories on your site. These are HTAccess passwords only; they differ from the passwords users enter to access services and the User Administrator control panel.

To change a user's HTAccess password:

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 Manage Users (Web Server section). A list of user names is displayed.
3. Click Add User.
4. In the User Name field, enter the user name of the user whose information you want to change.
5. In the Password field, type a new password for the user.
6. In the Confirm Password field, enter the new password again.
7. In the Belongs to group(s) field, select the group or groups to which the user belongs.
8. Click Add/Edit.
9. Notify the user that the password has been changed.
