3. On the report screen, click **View actions**, represented by the three vertical dots, and select **+ New**.
4. In the window that opens, **Execution template**, fill in the fields:
  1. **Name***: write a name that identifies the template.
  2. **Enabled**: in the checkbox, select **Yes**.
  3. **Executor***: in the dropdown menu, select **Ansible**.
  4. **Execution type***: in the dropdown menu, select Change Password.
  5. **Playbook**: in the dropdown menu, select **Windows NTLM change password**.
  6. **Inventory**: in the dropdown menu, select **Windows-WinRM-NTLM**.

A success message will be displayed, and the template created will be listed in the report.

## Step 2: Modify device connectivity

1. On Segura® platform, in the upper-left corner, click on the **Grid Menu**, represented by the nine squares, and select **Devices**.
2. In the side menu, select **Devices**.
  1. From the list, select the device that will be changed or create a new device.
**Info**

To learn how to create or edit a device, access the [How to configure a device](/v4-2/docs/pam-device-configure-device) document.
  2. In the window that opens, **Device**, click on **Connectivity**.
  3. In the **Connectivity** field, select **SSH** and in the **Port** field, enter the port number for WinRM.
**Info**

    - The device must have SSH connectivity to the WinRM port, due to the connector that is used.
    - By default, the port values ​​suggested by Segura® are: HTTP - 5985 and HTTPS - 5986.
3. Click **Save**.

Segura® will display a success message.

The action of changing your password follows the request flow like any other type of change carried out by Segura®. To perform the steps to change your password, access the Request a password change document.
