How to display the Change password page when a user login

Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 7

Hi everyone, The Umbraco.tv shows you how to add a new user i.e. Writer/Editor and assign roles.

When the new user login they are presented with the Change password page on the right-hand side, under the header Content.

How do I display the Change password page.

Hi Tom,

go to the /config/dashboard.config file and find the section with the alias "TheDashboard".
```
  <section alias="TheDashboard">
    <areas>
      <area>content</area>
    </areas>
    <tab caption="Welcome">
      <control addPanel="true" panelCaption="">/app_plugins/TheDashboard/TheDashboard.html</control>
    </tab>
    <tab caption="Change password">
      <control addPanel="true" panelCaption="">views/dashboard/ChangePassword.html</control>
    </tab>
  </section>
```
If you do not find the tab with caption "Change password"> try to add this and save.

Hopefully it will show up - and if not you need to add some info about which version of Umbraco you're using and if there is a ChangePassword.html file on the given location.

Hi Tom,

the section alias name might have changed through the different subversions (7.x), but look for a section with the
```
<areas>
      <area>content</area>
    </areas>
```
and add
```
<tab caption="Change password">
      <control addPanel="true" panelCaption="">views/dashboard/ChangePassword.html</control>
    </tab>
```
inside as shown in my earlier post. That should do it.

Hi Tom,

which exact Umbraco 7-version are you working with?

There was actually some issues with the change password feature up until 7.2.+, so you might need to upgrade your installation to solve it.

I'm using Umbraco version 7.6.3 assembly: 1.0.6361.21154

I can see the view, but for some unknown reason it's not being displayed

Try to see if you can find the Change password button after clicking the avatar in the top left corner. If so you don't need the dashboard tab ;-)
