Reset Password

Select System Configuration > General.

You can give your Users the ability to reset their passwords for logging on to FME Server. When Reset Password is enabled, a "Forgot your password?" link appears on the login page of the FME Server Web User Interface. This link enables users to receive an e-mail to reset their password.

Tip: To set standards for new and updated passwords, see Password Policy.
