Changing the device administrator password
The device administrator can perform a password change at any time and on any token.
Changing the device administrator password can only be performed by the device administrator, using the ProtectToolkit-M administration utility.
To change the device administrator password
-
Launch the administration utility from the Start menu by selecting Start > Programs > SafeNet > ProtectToolkit M > gmadmin.
-
Select the device on which to change the device administrator password from the Active Adapters list.
-
Open the Adapter menu and choose Change Device Admin Password.
-
The administration utility will now prompt for the current and new device administrator password.
Note
Any existing backups of the MACHINE and SYSTEM keysets will no longer be useful following a device administrator password change, because the backup key is generated from the password. New backups must be created after changing the password.
