Clear Text—This option displays the actual password in the text
box as the user types it in the field.
Encrypted—This option displays the encrypted version of the clear
text password you have entered. (The encrypted version is used for
display purposes only.)
2. Create the user’s password using one of the following methods:
Manually select—If you want to manually create a password that
the user must type when requesting a connection that requires
authentication, click in the text box and type a password. The
password must not exceed 64 characters.
Generate Password—If you want the Sidewinder G2 to
automatically create a password, click Generate Password. This will
be the password the user must type when he or she requests a
connection that requires authentication.
3. If you want the user’s password to expire so they are required to change
it, do the following:
a. Click Expire Password. A confirmation window appears.
b. Click Yes. The Expire Password button changes to a Reinstate
Password button.
c. Click OK and then click the Save icon to save your changes. If the
user’s password is expired, the password will appear in the Password
field with the word EXPIRED prepended to the password.

click OK, and then click the Save icon in the toolbar.
