What if a user forgets their password?
Users can reset their own password by email, or an administrator can set a new one from the Users page.
Reset the password yourself
- On the login page, click Forgot password.
- Enter your user name.
- A password reset link is sent to the email address linked to that user name.

When the request succeeds, the message “Reset link has been sent to your email” appears.

- Go to Menu → Administration → Users.
- Search for and select the user.
- Click Change password.
- Enter and confirm the new password.
