Set temporary passwords for users who are experiencing difficulties logging in or have forgotten their password.
Why?
Users who have forgotten their passwords, or who have been locked out of their account for 15 minutes after 5 incorrect password attempts can be assigned a temporary password by a Portal Administrator. Assigning these users with a temporary password will allow the user to bypass this timeout and attempt to login once again. Upon successful login the user will be prompted to assign a new password to be associated with their login.
