The first way is for the administrator to change the passwords by selecting Security > User & Group Accounts and then selecting Manage Users from the pull-down menu. The other and preferred way is to allow users to change their own passwords. This relieves the administrator from this task and encourages users to change their passwords on a more regular basis for enhanced security. Managing User Access 3-9 v1.2, October 2008
