Resetting a Password For an Admin or Learner
Learn the steps needed to reset a password for an admin or learner.
You can manually send a password reset email to a user (learner or admin), which will let them click in and reset their password. You might want this when:
- Someone forgets their password
- Someone needs help accessing their course
- Someone could use an extra course reminder outside the usual schedule
