When you need to help sub-resellers regain access to their Control Panel accounts. This article explains password reset methods, sending reset instructions, changing passwords, sub-reseller login access, password requirements, temporary login links, and related security limitations.

Generating and Modifying Passwords

 

As a Reseller, you would have to assist your Sub-Resellers, if they happen to forget their Username / Password for accessing their Control Panel. In such cases, there are 4 methods available for you. You can select any of the following methods to help your Sub-Resellers login to their Control Panel:

Forgot Password

Note

This method is useful when your Sub-Reseller has forgotten his Password.

To Direct your Sub-Reseller to Reset the Password himself

  1. The Sub-Reseller needs to visit the Control Panel Login URL.

  2. Click the Forgot Password link.

  3. Provide his Username (Email Address) and click the Send Reset Instructions button.

    This would send an email to his email address, containing a link through which the Sub-Reseller can reset his Control Panel Password.

     
    Note 
    • The link in the email will be valid for one hour from the time it was sent, and it can be used to change the Password only once.

    • Only 5 attempts for sending the Password reset instructions are allowed in a 24-hour duration.

    • The email will also contain a link to cancel an unauthorized Password reset attempt.

 

Send Password 

Note

This method is useful when your Sub-Reseller does not even remember his Username.

To Send Password Reset Instructions to your Sub-Reseller

  1. Search for the Sub-Reseller and proceed to the Sub-Reseller Details view. 

  2. Click the Send Password button.

    This would send an email to his email address, containing a link through which the Sub-Reseller can reset his Control Panel Password.

    Note
    • The link in the email will be valid for one hour from the time it was sent, and it can be used to change the Password only once.

    • Only 5 attempts for sending the Password reset instructions are allowed in a 24-hour duration.

    • The email will also contain a link to cancel an unauthorized Password reset attempt.
