This technical documentation illustrates how to change your password in the BMD Cloud environment.

PLEASE NOTE!

• You will need the new password to log in to the BMD Cloud system (Parallels Client or formerly 2X) and to start BMD 5.5 with the NetSpeed client.

The new password must comply with the following guidelines: 

• The password must not contain the user's account name or more than two consecutive characters of the user's full name.
