How to change a Password

Notes:

1. Any person may change their own password.
2. Mmembers of the System Managers or Security group can create new passwords for other users without entering the old password - very handy when someone loses their password
3. A password must contain at least one number and be at least six characters long
4. Passwords are case-sensitive - so watch your CAPS LOCK key!
