Showing generated reset passwords

We might want to enable every user or administrator who can reset passwords to see the new password that is generated. We can disable password editing and clear the hide generated passwords check box.

If we do not hide generated passwords, the users or administrators who are resetting a user's password see the password that was generated.

To enable the Reset Passwords and show the generated password to the user or administrator who requested that the password be reset...

1. From the navigation tree, select Set System Security > Set Security Properties.
2. Ensure that the following conditions are true:

   • The Enable password editing check box is not selected.

   • The Hide generated passwords for others check box is not selected.

3. Click OK.

4. On the Success page, click Close.

A group member who can create accounts, such as a member of the help desk assistant group, can reset a password. The group member can also see the new password.
