This procedure is mainly used when a user cannot remember their password and needs a new one created.  The administrators account cannot determine what a user’s password was, but can change it to a new password.  User who knows their password would not need to have an administrator change their password since users are able to change their  own password, depending if security settings permit it. NOTE: If you need to reset the Admin user password, contact DataNet Quality Systems Help Desk.
