Unix and Samba passwords of your users. If you set the <a class="link" href="ch05.html#s_accessLevel">access level</a> to "Change passwords" then
LAM will not allow any changes to the LDAP database except password
changes via this page. The account pages will be still available in
read-only mode.</p><p>You can open the password reset page by clicking on the key symbol
on each user account:</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/passwordReset1.png"></div></div><p>There are three different options to set a new
password:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>set random password and display it on
screen</strong></span></p><p>This will set the user's password to a random value. The
password will be 11 characters long with a random combination of
letters, digits and ".-_".</p><p>You may want to use this method to tell users their new
passwords via phone.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>set random password and mail it to
user</strong></span></p><p>If the user account has set the mail attribute then LAM can
send your user a mail with the new password. You can change the mail

to setup the sender address, subject and mail body.</p><p>Using this method will prevent that your support staff knows
the new password.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>set specific password</strong></span></p><p>Here you can specify your own password.</p></li></ul></div><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/passwordReset2.png"></div></div><p>LAM will display contact information about the user like the
