Changing Your
Password
The Change Password utility lets you update the password used in the access
control list of the access point with which the client is associated. This is only
applicable if you have configured the client to use 128-bit Dynamic Security Link
security.
Because access points maintain separate User Control Lists, you must update the
password separately on each access point that you associate with.
