Considerations for changing the service tools device ID passwords
|
Review these considerations before you change the service tools device ID password:
|
Note: You must unlock the SST option before the option is usable. See Using Service Tools Device IDs in
|
|
System Service Tools (SST).
|
The service tools device ID password on the PC must be the same as the service tools device ID
v
password on the server. If you change one, you have to change the other.
|
v Operations Console encrypts the service tools device ID password when you click Next in the Access
|
|
Password window.
|
v If you are creating a new local console on a network configuration (you have not connected yet) and
click Cancel after the Access Password window, you can re-create the configuration with the same
|
service tools device ID.
|
|
v If you have previously connected successfully using this local console on a network configuration, you
need to reset the service tools device ID password on the PC and the server. To do this, see
|
Resynchronize the PC and service tools device ID password.
|
|
Operations Console changes and re-encrypts the service tools device ID password during each
v
|
successful connection.
v If you delete the local console on a network configuration after making at least one successful
|
connection, you need to reset the service tools device ID password on the server before you reuse the
|
|
profile for a new local console on a network configuration. For instructions on resetting the device
profile password, see Resynchronize the PC and service tools device ID password.
|
|
If you need to change the service tools device ID password, see Change the service tools device ID
password on the PC and the server.

Changing the service tools device ID password on the PC and server
There is currently no advantage to changing the service tools device ID password unless the passwords
on the PC and server have gotten out of synchronization. If this is the case, use the topic Resynchronize
the PC and service tools device ID password to make them both the same again. Since this password is
actually changed at each successful connection, manually changing the password, except for
synchronization, is not recommended.
Change the access password
You can change the password used to access the service tools device ID information at any time after the
creation of a new local console on a network configuration. If you are working with partitions, you can
change this password for the corresponding partition.
Note: The password is case sensitive and can be a maximum of 128 characters of mixed case. It is
important that you remember this password. You will use this password during the connection
process to sign on the Service Device Sign-on window.
To use the connection properties to change the access password, follow these steps:
1. Select the connection name for which you will be changing the access password.
2. Click Connection —> Properties.
3. Select the Access Password tab.
4. For Current Password enter what you currently use for the access password.
5. Enter the new password into the New Password and Confirm password fields, and then click OK.
