SAS/ACCESS Interface to SYSTEM 2000 Data Management Software: Reference

Effects of Changing a SYSTEM 2000 Database Password

The master password holder can change any database password at any time. If you change a password used in a view descriptor, you can either change the view descriptor or override the stored password each time you need to use the view descriptor. The software does not care whether you use the same password. The engine only needs to have you use a password that has enough authority to service the view descriptor.

Since SYSTEM 2000 passwords are not stored in access descriptors, there are no effects if a password is changed. Passwords can be stored in view descriptors, but changing a password does not affect a view descriptor. It still has all items, but you might not be able to use the view. Nothing is automatically changed in the descriptors when you change a password or its authorities.
