I don't think they would necessarily need to retrieve the existing
password. I think they could get by with an exit point program that would
generate a new password and set it using CHGUSRPRF and then email this new
password to the user.

Re: AS400 Automatic Sending of New Password?
Frank,
I don't think this is going to be possible since the passwords on the
iSeries are encrypted and cannot be programatically retrieved. You'd
have to be able to access the password from a program on the iSeries,
and
that is just not possible.

Hi Folks, you know when you're trying to sign in or log in?to a web site
but you forget your password and after a few tries you have to click on
the "forgot your password" button and you're emailed a new password?? Can
that be done with the AS400/iSeries??
Any thoughts on how?it could be done with minimal programming? ?
Has anyone out there tried that??
Right now when a user calls the help desk the help desk issues a
new?password?but we want to eliminate that call (and probably the help
desk too).?
As always, any help appreciated.?
Thanks, Frank?
