Changing the Operating System password

Use these steps to change your operating system password.

About this task

Note: If your system is under a GE service contract, you must share the updated password credentials with the GE Online Center to retain GE remote monitoring and service. Failure to do so prevents GE from remotely accessing the system, which will significantly degrade the speed and quality of the service delivery.
