Infineon Security Platform Solution - Password Reset Wizard

Infineon Security Platform Password Reset Wizard

The Infineon Security Platform Password Reset Wizard is used to reset Basic User Passwords. Resetting a Basic User Password comprises administrative steps and user steps. With the Password Reset Wizard you can perform both administrative steps and user steps.

Availability of wizard: In stand-alone mode, this wizard is only available on an initialized Security Platform. In server mode, no administrative tasks are available in this wizard, since Trusted Computing Management Server handles these tasks.

This shield icon is visible only for users with administrative rights under operating systems with User Account Control (e.g. Windows 7 and Windows Vista).

Wizard Steps

Administrative Steps: The wizard pages to prepare the Password Reset for a specific user are intended for Security Platform Administrators or Help Desk staff. A specific password protecting the reset token is required. If the current administrator's Basic User Password is to be reset, then the wizard continues with the user steps.

User Steps: The wizard pages to reset the current user's password presuppose that the Password Reset has been prepared for this user before.
