# TCP/IP Configuration Notebook Online Help

### IBM TCP/IP Administrator Password Page

Use this page to change the TCP/IP Administrator password for this computer--but only if you are accessing this TCP/IP Configuration Notebook locally (this page will not appear in the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook if access is remote). The TCP/IP administrator uses this password to access any TCP/IP Java-enabled graphical user interfaces on this computer. These interfaces handle local and remote TCP/IP configuration, DDNS server administration, DHCP server configuration, and DHCP server management. When these interfaces are invoked, they prompt for the host name and TCP/IP administrator password for this computer.

Alternatively, the administrator password for this computer may be reset using the local ADMIN_PW utility, which you can start by double-clicking the Create TCP/IP Administrator Password icon in the TCP/IP Configuration folder, or by entering admin_pw on an OS/2 command line.

The fields for this page are:

Administrator Password
  Type a unique string of characters for accessing any of the Java-enabled TCP/IP graphical user interfaces on this computer. The password must be at least five characters in length and is case-sensitive.

Verify Password
  Re-enter the password from the Administrator Password field to confirm your entry was typed correctly. This field is required.
