Method and system for selecting a password encrypted with a correct software
version in a telecommunication system. The system comprises a source system (LE1),
a target system (LE2), and operation and maintenance network (OM), and an
operation and maintenance center (OMC). In the method, log-on in the source system
(LE1) is accomplished by supplying a user identification and a corresponding
password. A remote session connection is set up via the operation and maintenance
center (OMC) to the target system (LE2). The password encryption software
versions in the target system (LE2) and in the source system (LE1)
are compared with each other; and, if the password encryption software versions
in the source and target systems differ from each other, the password belonging
to the user identification in question associated with an earlier password encryption
software version is sent to the target system (LE2).
