1. In the cluster profile, change the "Username" field to the "admin". Save the changes.
2. In the MATLAB Command Window, enter "mjs=parcluster;".
3. In the MATLAB Command Window, enter "changePassword(mjs, 'username')". Replace "username" with the username that you wish to change the password for.
4. Complete the prompts as given in the GUI that appears for the password reset.
5. In the cluster profile, change the "Username" field to the intended end user's username. Save the changes.

If necessary, changing the security level to 0, doing a clean restart of the MATLAB Job Scheduler service, switching the security level back to 2, and then restarting the MATLAB Job Scheduler service again should erase all passwords for all users (including the admin) and will prompt users to choose their password when attempting to connect to the cluster.
