Original Post:

Hi,

I'd like to change the database password both for SYSDBA and the user.

Help, a forum post from 2013, and zendesk, 2015 say:

Q: I have created a password, but how can I change my password?
A: You need to go to File -> Password protection, erase asterisks and enter your new password.

But there is no (menu)File -> (Item)Password protection in EssentialPim Windows 7.63 - or am I blind?

Cheers,
Nurgotora

Mhmmm,

There's no such thing as "Users".

Hello,

the menu appears when you you open the database using EPIM server (File-> Connect to Server). If you have opened database directly from disk, using File-> Open menu, the menu won't appear.

That's exactly what I always do (File-> Connect to Server) and it wouldn't show...

... because I connect as the normal user.

Thinking, I tested how it would look if I connect as SYSDBA, and ta-daa!, "Tools-> Users" is there.

"Tools-> Users" is only available when connected as SYSDBA

Ah-ha.
