# Changing your Password

You may find that the system is set up so that passwords expire after a certain period. If your password expires without your knowledge - if, say, you are on leave - you will be prompted to create a new one when you next log in to ASM Core.

1. Select ≡ > **Admin** > **Password**.
2. The **Change Password** dialog box appears, showing your Login ID and a number of blank fields.
3. In the **Old Password** field, type your current password.
4. In the **New Password** field, type your new password. Passwords must be a minimum of six characters in length. You must specify a valid password. ASM Core does not permit blank passwords.
5. Retype your new password in the **Confirm** field.
6. Select **Ok** to save the new password and close the dialog box.

The System Administrator can also reset your password if necessary by updating the details in the **Login ID** in the person details.
