To reset a user’s password, do the following:
The CCH Site Builder email system is designed to expire each user's password after 365 days, and each user will receive an email notification that the user should login within 14 days. Upon entering the current password, the user will be prompted to immediately change the current password. After changing the password, the user won't be prompted again until 14 days prior to the next annual password change.
If the user doesn't change the password during this 14-day annual notification period and is locked, or if the firm's mail administrator needs to change the user's password for other reasons the postmaster@[yourdomain] user (or a user designated as an administrator) can reset passwords.
The administrator can choose to make the new password temporary or permanent by using the "Require user to reset password on next login" box. If the option is “temporary,” the user will always be prompted to change their password to a new unused password the next time they login. But if the user is within their annual 14-day password change period and hasn’t yet changed the password, the user will still have to change their password regardless what option the administrator chooses. If the administrator chooses the “permanent” at a time other than the annual notification period, the user won’t be prompted to change their password again until 14 days from the new annual notification period.
