forgotten password of cloud user on RN204

 

A cloud user on my ns204 system has forgotten their password.  -  so tried to reset it.

 

open readycloud app on windows PC -  on logon screen click " forgot account"  ..

 

page opens for account reset  .  enter user name of forgotton password....  page answers "email sent"

 

receive email,  click on link which says click here to reset password.....   page opens   -  on portal access page...  nowhere indicated where to reset password!

 

How can I retreive / reset cloud user password.  aditionally  -  how can I as admin reset a cloud users password?

    nope...  that didnt work.

     

    cleared browsing history and cache....  clicked the email link....  just went to the readycloud welcome screen.

     

    So....   instead of licking link   -  cos the link seemed to indicate it was the reset page....  I copied it and pasted into web address, and it then went to the correct page....

     

    not sure why the simple click did not do the same ....

     

    any way   -  can now get round it

     

    thanks..

    Hello,

     

    After pressing the link the ReadyCLOUD website should open and present a dialog to reset the password. Maybe using a different browser / clearing the cache helps?

     

    As far as I know the admin has no option to change a user’s password.

     

    Bye,
