Resetting Your Password if You Forget It

You can reset your own password if you know the answers to your secret questions, have an email address on record in IAM, or if your organization has Multifactor Authentication (MFA) enabled. This method is the most efficient way to reset your password if you forget it. You're encouraged to use this process rather than contacting your system administrator.

If you don’t know the answers to your secret questions, haven’t set them up, or don’t have an email address in IAM, contact your system administrator to reset your password.

To reset your password using email:

  1. On the Sign In page, click Forgot Password.
  2. Sign In page with Forgot Password highlighted

  3. Enter your user Id and click Submit.

  • Has enabled MFA, you'llreceive a code from the Authy app, through text, email, or voice call. Enter the code to continue.
  • Doesn't have MFA enabled, on the Answer Secret Questions page, answer the selected secret questions. The answers are masked, so be careful to avoid typos, misspellings, and so on when answering the questions.
