Explanation

On Avaya IP Office, the administrator password is changed through Security settings (D), which is the dedicated area for managing system-level access controls, user credentials, and security policies - this is the correct and intended path for password management in IP Office Manager.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (SSA Resources): System Status Application (SSA) is a monitoring/diagnostic tool, not a configuration interface - it doesn't manage credentials.
• B (CLI via DTE port): While the DTE port provides low-level access for recovery scenarios, it is not the standard administrative method for changing the password and requires physical access.
• C (Security tab in System settings): This is a plausible distractor because "System settings" does exist in IP Office Manager, but the password change lives specifically under the top-level Security settings node, not as a sub-tab within System.

Memory tip: Think "Security settings = security tasks." Password management is a security function, so it lives at the Security settings level - not inside System, not in monitoring tools. If it's about who can access the system, go to Security settings.
