Change your password

You can change the password of your identity store account. After changing it, use the new password to sign into Directory Manager and any other application that uses your domain account.

To do this, provide the existing password and then a new password to replace it. The new password must conform to the password policy the administrator has defined for the identity store. Administrator can either enable Directory Manage Password Policy or Netwrix Password Policy Enforcer policies for the identity store.

NOTE: MFA enabled Microsoft Entra ID users cannot change their passwords in Directory Manager. If they try to do so, the following message is displayed:

If the user's account is a master account, password of its child accounts also cannot be changed in Directory Manager.

Follow these steps to change your password.

Step 1 – In the portal, click your profile info in the top right corner and select Change password.

Step 2 – The Select your account section lists your account and its linked accounts, if any. Your logged in account is selected.

Notice the following in the blue bar:

• Password Policy: Minimum Length – Displays the minimum number of characters the new password must contain
• Password Complexity – Displays whether password complexity rules apply. Hover the mouse over Enabled to view the rules.

Step 3 – In the Change Password section, do the following:

• Type the password of your selected account in the Current Password box.
• Type your new password in the New Password box. The new password must conform to the rules of the applied password policy for the identity store.
• Type the new password in the Confirm New Password box.

Step 4 – Click Change Password.

If you have reused an old password that does not meet the Enforce password history policy of the provider, a message informs you that the password must be different from the old one.

Step 5 – On successful change password, the message,"Password has been reset successfully." is displayed. Click OK.
