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
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.
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.)
In the Remote Systems view, right-click one of your subsystems,
such as Objects, and select Change Password.
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.
