  Problem Description: Issue with Default Password Policy in B2BI
  v6.1.0.1 dashboard
  Customers with newly created userID are unable to reset their

Problem conclusion

• Resolution Summary:
  A code fix is provided
  B2BI is expecting the passwords coming from the dashboard to be
  encoded. Seems like the dashboard for change password page is
  sending the passwords without encoding. B2Bi will handle the
  unencoded passwords after this fix.
