Users with the necessary rights to see SAPM account passwords need to check out the password in order to use it. To check out the password:

1. Navigate to **SAPM Management **> **SAPM Management**.
2. Open the **SAPM Accounts** tab.
3. Search for the **SAPM Accounts**.
4. Select **Show Password** from the** Options** drop-down menu for the desired SAPM account.

Enter Expiration Time and Comments. The password will be changed by SAPM after the expiration time. The existing sessions signed into with the old password can be configured to continue after, or to be terminated during password changes (the commands to kill the previous sessions should be added to post command scripts. Please refer to section [Configuration Properties to Execute Commands After Changing Passwords](docId\:aGj9RO-XvRHc-I8DtgKXH) for more information).

- Click the **Show** button.
