Administrator account password

I have IPMonitor 9.0.6

So far everything was created under the admin account.

Lately too many people got the info about the admin password and I am affraid that they might mess something up. I was wondering if I change the admin PASSWORD only - is this goign to change anything in the monitors that I created previously ?

Again - the password only - not the user name.

Thank you

I think it's pretty smart you've come to thwack and ask.

Forcing a password-change on another account orphans its credentials, causing any monitors using the credential to fail with an appropriate error message. This is easy to fix if there's just a handful of credentials (you just reset the credential and put back the password).

When you change your own password, this is not the case. I am not 100% sure about using the account configuration pages to change your your password, but I do know that "My Settings" is the safe way to do this.

Login as the admin.
Go to "My Settings".
Change your password.
