# Before You Begin

You must be an administrator to view the *Policy Management&#x20;*&#x70;ane and make changes to the password policy.

# Modify Password Policy

You can make changes to the existing password policy parameters and click **Save Policy**. Modifying a password policy in Belden Horizon Data Operations takes precedence over the default password policy added in the **Belden Horizon Data Manager Admin Console&#xA0;**> **Policies** pane.

# Reset Password Policy

You can reset the password policy to its default settings by clicking **Reset Default**.&#x20;
