About resetting passwords
Passwords can be reset following password expiry, login failure due to invalid login attempts or in the case of a forgotten password. The password can be reset only if the password policy of a user allows it.
Configuring secret questions
A secret question and answer pair can be used for effective user authentication. Each secret question is configured and set at the organization level. Application access is denied to users in case of repeated incorrect answers. Custom questions pertaining to a user can also be configured.
Resetting passwords through e-mail
Use the rule type=password reset and the associated IPasswordPolicyForReset interface to reset passwords.
Changing passwords
When your password expires, change the password.
Resetting passwords through other protocols
You can reset passwords by configuring other protocols such as SMS. You must configure a new password policy to allow password reset through the new protocol.
