Change a node's password

Change a Windows node’s password from its Node Security tab. It works on an unlocked node.

1. Open the node’s Node Security tab.
2. Enter a new password: 16 to 30 characters, with a number, an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, and a special character.
3. Confirm the change. Use the new password the next time you connect.

You will get an email with the new password and the IP address the change came from. Keep it: it is your record of the change, in case someone else made it.

On a Linux node, you manage how you get in with SSH keys instead; see Add an SSH key to a node. If you are locked out of a node, see Troubleshooting node security and access.
