With so many passwords to remember, it can be easy for a user to forget their own. Luckily, it’s an easy fix! 

Users can request a password reset on their own (for administrators who are security-conscious, reset request settings can be customized), or an admin can start the process for them by following the steps below.

Find the User

Make sure you're logged in under /admin, then:

  • SELECT “LEARNERS” at the top of the page

  • SELECT “Enrollment” underneath 

Admin menu bar Learners Enrollment highlighted

A list of current users will pop up, complete with their names, emails, and their Groups.

  • TYPE their name into the search bar

  • FIND the person you’re looking for

  • SELECT the padlock icon beside their name

Learner Enrollment page Search Bar Name Padlock highlighted

Reset the User's Password

Reset User Password Screen

From here, either:

  • CHECKMARK  “Automatically generate a password” box so system will send a random password to the user

  • TYPE a password of your choice in the “New Password” box (consider our Password Strength Requirements when you do!)

Finalize Reset

  • SELECT "Ask for a password change at the next sign-in” so user will have to create a new password of their own once they've logged in again (recommended)

  • SAVE CHANGES

Once done, the system will send an email to the user, prompting them to reset their login using the new password. After that, it’s up to them!
