Changing a Keyset Password

A keyset password may need to be changed periodically. A keyset password is changed by the keyset owner, using the SafeNet ProtectToolkit-M keyset management utility.

To change the keyset password:

1.Launch the keyset management utility from the Start menu by selecting Start > Programs > SafeNet > ProtectToolkit M > gmksm.

2.From the displayed list, select the desired keyset.

3.Open the Keyset menu and choose Change Password.

4.The user is prompted for the current and new keyset password. Enter the required information into the fields provided and press OK to change the password.

NOTE   Any existing keyset backups will no longer be useful following a keyset password change, because the backup key is generated from the password. New backups should be created after changing the password.
