About this task

In a service desk-assisted Password Reset process, only the service desk agents with the password_reset_service_desk role can reset user passwords. Users can’t reset passwords.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > Password Reset > Service Desk.
  2. Select a user and the Password Reset process to use.
  3. Click Verify Identity.
  4. On the Verify Identity form, enter the answers provided by the user, and then click Continue.
    If the user's identity is verified, the Reset Password form displays the identity verification and status of the account lock.
  5. Perform one of the following actions.
    • If the user isn’t locked, the form displays the Reset password button. Enter the new password and click Reset password.
    • If the user's account is locked, the form displays the Reset password and Unlock account buttons. You can enter a new password and click Reset password to reset the password and unlock the account. If the Enable account unlock option is selected for the password process, you can unlock the account without resetting the password by clicking Unlock account.
  6. To reset the password for a different user, you must first navigate away from the Service Desk and then navigate to Password Reset > Service Desk.
