  3. Enter and confirm a new password for the account.
  4. Users are required to change this password after they sign in. If both passwords match, the red X changes to a green check mark. For information about password requirements, see Password Requirements.
  5. Click Save.
    The account is unlocked. A green lock appears in the Locked column of the user's record.
What to do next
