This article explains how to force a user to change their FDE password or key-file password.
How to Force a FDE Password Change
Please note, for Single Sign-on users you will need to change a user's password through Windows, Active Directory or their domain controller, not Enterprise Server.
- Log into the Enterprise Server and locate the Workstation that you want to update. To do this follow this article:
KB332 - How do I view Workstation Details?
- Select the FDE Logins tab
- Highlight the username you want to update and click Force Password Change
- Click Yes in the confirmation box
- An alert will appear in the bottom right-hand corner
The next time the user logs into their machine, DESlock+ will prompt them to update their FDE password. If they do not update their FDE password, they may only be able to use their old password a pre-set number of times until their account becomes disabled.
If the user account is disabled you will need to use the recovery steps in order to log the user back in. For more information see this article:
