## About the password

For security, a password should combine upper- and lowercase letters, special characters such as `# % &`, and numbers. A strong password is required if the security level is `2` or higher. See Server security levels and Password strength requirements in the P4 Server Administration Documentation.

By default, the password must contain at least 8 characters, but this is configurable. See dm.password.minlength in the P4 CLI Reference

## To change your password

1. Go to Connection > Change Password​.

2. In the Change Password form, enter your old password and your new password.

3. Confirm your new password.
4. Click OK.
