Password

When you select the option to change your password, you will be presented with a screen with three fields. The first field is asking for your current (old) password -- the one with which you logged in with for the current session. The next field is for the new password -- what you want the password changed to. The third field is a repeat of the second field -- you must enter the new password here a second time. Since the password is not displayed as you type it, forcing you to type it twice helps to insure that you entered it correctly, and helps prevent you from being locked out of your account due to a typing mistake. Once you have filled in all three forms, press the button to submit the password change request. You will then be told if the password change was successful or not.

After you change your password, Horde groupware functions will no longer work. You will need to log out, then log in again, to resume using the Horde groupware apps;.

Note that this changes your physics unix login password. Also note that while this password change is immediate on the mail server, there may sometimes be a slight delay before it is effective on the unix machines for login purposes. If you are having problems logging into a unix machine with the new password immediately after changing your password, try using your old password.
