Resetting Passwords

Passwords in HireTrack NX are encrypted and can only be reset by the user. Because many email programs such as gmail™, Outlook365™, Apple ICloud™, etc. requires users to change their passwords regularly, System Administrators will sometimes forget to update their email password stored in HireTrack. This results in frustration as users are not able to reset their passwords and are, in effect, locked out of the system as their temporary password was not sent due to an authentication or password error on the HireTrack_Admin aka the System Administrator Account.  

This video explains how to correct this problem, and written instructions are below:
