What to do if you've forgotten your password or locked your logon
Passwords are case sensitive so it is important to remember what case you used when you first chose your password.
If you have forgotten your password
If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it online. Due to security reasons we cannot give passwords out over the phone. We will email the new password to the email address set up for your User ID. It will not be displayed on the screen.
- Select the Logon button to display the Logon screen.
- Select the Forgot My Password button to display the 'Forgot My Password' screen.
- Enter your User ID. You must enter a valid User ID.
- Select Continue and we will email your new password directly to the email address already recorded against your User ID.
- Once you have received your new password and have logged on, you can change your password to one of your own choice.
Notes
If you have reset your password you might like to change it to something you will find easier to remember. The next time you log on please go to My Tools - User Administration - User Details - Modify User and change your password.
Passwords must contain seven alphanumeric characters, including at least one alphabetic and one numeric character, with no spaces or punctuation. To change your password logon then choose My Tools - User Administration - User Details - Modify User from the left hand menu.
