# Password Synchronization

**Password Synchronization** is the process of aligning the password of a [[zentraler-nutzeraccount]] with the credentials used for authentication on central Windows systems and PC-Pools.

## Purpose
In some instances, the password used for the central URZ account may deviate from the password stored for Windows or PC-Pool system logins. This discrepancy prevents users from accessing physical workstations despite having valid central credentials.

## Implementation
Users can resolve this discrepancy by performing a synchronization directly within the [[ums]] (Account Management) portal.
