Password Reset Web Part
NOTE: If you have set the “Automatic Logon with Current Username and
Password” option under Tools, Internet Options, you will have to change that
option, reset your password and then if you want, set that option again after you
change your password. Instructions for that procedure are at the end of this
document.
The Password Reset Web Part allows SharePoint users to reset their own
password from an anonymous access SharePoint site. This Web Part generates
and automatically emails a new password to the user.
When users forget their password, they can:
 navigate to this site http://extranet.feldent.com/password/default.aspx - no
log in is required for this site.
 enter the domain name (feldent\), their user name and email address into
the Password Reset Web Part
 Click Submit.
An email confirmation is automatically generated and sent to the user’s inbox
notifying them a request has been submitted to reset their password and a
hyperlink is provided to confirm the request.
The user then clicks the hyperlink from the email and their password is reset.

Another email message is sent to the user with the new temporary password.
The user can then log into the sharepoint site and change their password. (Click
on Site Settings from the top toolbar, Select Update My Information from the
menu choices and then click on Change Password.)
