Resetting Passwords

This section describes the procedure to reset the IIJ ID Service password.

Once a password is reset, a temporary password is sent to the user's notification email address.

[ Note ]

  • If user passwords are synchronized with Active Directory, passwords must be reset in Active Directory. Attempting to perform the password reset procedure described on this page will result in the sending of a notification email message indicating that the password could not be changed.
  • If a user attempts to send a large amount of password reset email, email transmission may be temporarily locked.
