  4. Enter the new password twice in the two fields.
    The function for displaying passwords in plain text can be activated/deactivated. If it is activated, the eye symbol is displayed on the right-hand side of the fields.

  5. Confirm your entries with OK.
  6. A confirmation of the password change is displayed. The next time the user logs in to the client, they must enter the new password.

A user without administrative rights can change their password in the UserClient.
