Provide secrets for resetting your Basic User Password

This wizard page prompts to provide secrets for resetting your Basic User Password: your "Personal Secret" and the "Reset Authorization Code".

Wizard Page Element Explanation
Personal Secret Your Personal Secret was created while enabling the reset functionality for your Basic User Password (see Quick Initialization Wizard or User Initialization Wizard).

You can either manually type in the Personal Secret or provide the Personal Secret file.

Get from file... If you have saved the Personal Secret to a file, click this button to provide the Personal Secret file.
Hide secret Uncheck this box, if you want to make the secret visible in clear text.

The option within the Personal Secret field may be restricted depending upon the system policy Enable stringent password field security.

  Note: The following page elements are not displayed, if you have just prepared Password Reset for your own user account. In this case the Reset Authorization Code is not needed.
Reset Authorization Code This code string was passed to you by your Security Platform Administrator or by help desk staff. You can either read in the Reset Authorization Code from a file or type it in directly.
Get from File... Click this button, if you were given a file with the Reset Authorization Code. Otherwise you have to type in the code string.
Get from Server... This wizard element is only available in server mode. Click this button to retrieve the Reset Authorization Code from the server.

The client system must be integrated into a Trust Domain with centralized management.

Checksum The checksum assists you in typing in the Reset Authorization Code. If the displayed checksum matches the checksum you were given together with the Reset Authorization Code, then you have typed in the correct code string.

This page is part of the Password Reset user steps. If the Basic User Password of your own user account is to be reset, this page is displayed after you have performed the administrative steps.
