# Assigning a password to a user

After a user is created, the Change Password button is available on the User page, and you can assign the user an initial password. After the user logs in for the first time, the user is required to change this initial password.

1. In the navigation toolbar, click Admin.
2. Click Users.

   The Users page appears.

3. Click the Last Name, First Name, or Account Name link for a user.

   The User details page appears.

4. Make sure that the User Active checkbox is not selected (the user is in an inactive state).

   The Change Password button appears at the bottom of the page.

5. Click Change Password.

   The Change Password page appears. For a description of the fields on this page, see Change Password page—For administrators.

6. In the New password field, type a password for the user.

   Passwords should have a minimum of 8 characters. For security reasons, Oracle recommends using a combination of letters, numbers, and non-alphanumeric characters. Passwords are case-sensitive.

   For more information, see Guidelines for choosing a password.

7. In the Confirm new password field, retype the password.
8. Click Submit.
