01. Check access and change password

A startup password is an invitation, not a permanent state. Only when access clearly belongs to one person does reliable administration begin.

Responsibility that carries with you in everyday life

X-ERP protects login with password policies and can lock accounts after failed attempts. That's why password changes, contact details and a tested recovery path go together.

This creates a clean working environment

1. Open the exactly transferred X-ERP address and select the correct company database.
2. Log in with personal starting access.
3. Start on the desktop Administration the desktop button User.
4. Then select Change password out. Enter the new password and repeat the entry in the confirmation field.
5. Pay attention to the password security requirements.
6. Log out and log in again with the new password.
7. Check who can unlock accounts and reset passwords.

The short handover check

• Login only works with the new password.
• Email address and person shown are correct.
• Browsers or sticky notes do not contain a plain text password.
• A second person responsible knows the regulated recovery path.

What good administrators immediately think about

• Multiple guesses may lock the account; use the reset way.
• Shared accounts prevent a robust changelog.
• A management password stored in the browser is a risk on shared devices.

This is what you take with you

The first approach is personal, repeatable and secure enough to base all subsequent steps on.
