Change your password

Since your password allows access into SVHarbor, use care in protecting it.   

 

You need to change your password in these cases:

 

After logging in for the first time, or using a new password given to you by the administrator.  (Refer to Log in to SVHarbor for more information.)

 

When your password expires.  (Passwords expire every 60 days. When yours expires, a message appears when you log in, prompting you to change it.  Refer to Log in to SVHarbor for more information.)

 

If you suspect that someone else knows your password.

 

 

If you forget your password, contact your administrator.  He or she will give you a new password, which you are prompted to change the first time you use it to log in.

 

 

To change your password, follow these steps.

 

1.

Choose Change Password from the SVHarbor home page.

 

(To view the home page, choose Home in the SVHarbor menu in any SVHarbor window.)

 

The Password Change Request window is displayed:

 

 

2.

Type your current username in the Username field, and your current password in the Old Password field.

 

SVHarbor requires you to enter your current user name and password for security purposes.

3.

Type a new password twice, in the New Password and Confirm New Password fields.

 

Below are guidelines for passwords:

 

Passwords MUST contain at least six characters (and no more than thirty characters).

 

Passwords MUST start with a letter, and two of the characters MUST be numbers.

 

Passwords cannot resemble any English word.

 

Passwords must not be too similar to a password you've used in the past.

 

Passwords can contain upper and lower case letters as well as dashes (-), underscores (_) or periods (.).

 

 

Do NOT use your username or store name in your password.

 

 

You are the only one who knows the password that you set up here.  If you forget this password, you must contact your administrator to receive a new one.

4.

Click the Change Password button.

 

(Click the Clear this form button at any point to clear all fields and start over.)

 

A message informs you that you successfully changed your password.
