Changing your IBM i password in the Remote System Explorer

About this task

You can change the password for your IBM® i user profile that you use to connect to your IBM i server:

Procedure

  1. Switch to the Remote System Explorer perspective. The name of your perspective displays at the top of the workbench. If you are not in the Remote System Explorer, then, from the workbench menu, click Window > Open Perspective > Other > Remote System Explorer > OK.
  2. Make sure you are connected to the IBM i server (by right-clicking a subsystem and selecting Connect. If you are already connected, the option is Disconnect, so you do not need to take action.)
  3. In the Remote Systems view, right-click one of your subsystems, such as Objects, and select Change Password.
  4. Enter your current and your new password in the appropriate fields and click OK.

Results

If you previously chose to have your password saved, this change will automatically change the saved password and your connection will work the same as before.
