Changing Your Password

If you are a new user who has logged into Expert for the first time, you are prompted to change your password. After this change, you will be required to change your password every 60 days. A prompt appears after 60 days requesting that you change your password. You can skip the changing of your password by clicking the Cancel button, but can only do this three times. After skipping the changing of your password the third time, you will be forced to change it on your fourth login.
