offhand, I’d suggest that maybe you don’t have right to change password as set in Supervisor

Thanks for your help. But can i check in supervisor? If yes could you please tell me how to do that?

There are actually two things that should be synchronized to either allow or disallow – and you may be “out of sync” on one or the other in Supervisor. I give first the option that should be available if you allow the password to change – and then in parentheses the option that should be available if you want to prohibit such a change.
1.) Double-click the userid to look at your User Properties
Has the “Enable Password Modification” been selected (or de-selected)? (Then close that panel.)
2.) Then, for that userid, go to the Configuration tab. Right-click the WebIntelligence Module and select Properties.
Open the Options folder. Has the “Change Password” been correspondingly Enabled (or Disabled)?
You might ask – why would you want to prohibit a user from changing the BusinessObjects password? If you are using the BOUSER/BOPASS in your database connection – then the password needs to be kept in sync with the database password for that user – so you might then not allow them to change it.

Has somebody customized your WebI portal? Perhaps they changed the options page?

Are you defined in multiple groups? Take a look at this entry from our FAQ:Supervisor – perhaps you don’t have a right in a second group, and are losing the right because of the Most-Restrictive rule for permissions.
