Change Password at every access

I'm using Umbraco v7.3.4. Every time an user log in the Umbraco administration website, the starting page is Change Password. Changing the password doesn't solve the problem, the Change Password page appears at every logon. It happens to all users, both administrators and Editors. What's wrong? Some time ago the starting page was Home. Joe

Hi Joe

Take a look in your /config/dashboard.config file

this is the file that determines which dashboards are shown in which section of Umbraco.

There should be an entry like so:
```
 <section alias="StartupDashboardSection">
    <access>
      <deny>translator</deny>
    </access>
    <areas>
      <area>content</area>
    </areas>
    <tab caption="Get Started">
      <access>
        <grant>admin</grant>
      </access>
      <control showOnce="true" addPanel="true" panelCaption="">
        views/dashboard/default/startupdashboardintro.html
      </control>
    </tab>
    <tab caption="Change Password">
      <control showOnce="false" addPanel="false" panelCaption="">
          views/dashboard/ChangePassword.html
        </control>
    </tab>
  </section>
```
It is probably the 'showOnce' setting that means users were seeing the welcome dashboard but now see the Change Password one when logging in.

You can create your own custom welcome dashboard that is displayed when users login to provide information about getting started with your implementation of Umbraco or install a package like 'The Dashboard' that gives useful information to editors on first login:
