How to Change a Password?

NOTE: End users may click the Reset Password link on the login page which will email them instructions to reset their password. If they did not receive an email, the email may have been filtered into the junk folder or blocked by the mail server. 

A person with super admin access is able to reset any contact's password.

There are several options available for resetting a user's password:

  1. Admin manually changes user's password to something else.
    • See: To Change a Password section below
  2. Send a Reset Password Email to the end user. This will send the user an email with instructions on changing their password. This would be the same action as though the end user clicked the Reset Password link on the login screen
    • See: To Send Reset Password Email section below
  3. Send a Reset Password login link to the end user. This will send an auto-login link to the end user and take the user directly to the Change Password screen. Important Note: The auto-login link is time-sensitive and will expire within 48 hours of the link being generated. Therefore, the end user must take action within 48 hours of receiving the link.
