Summary:
There are instances in which the password must be reset for WAVE and WAVE Sync. This article covers the requirements and steps to reset your password.
Step by Step Guide:
Minimum Requirements
The minimum password security requirements are:
- Must be at least 8 characters.
- Must contain at least two different types of characters (e.g., lowercase + uppercase, lowercase + number, lowercase + special character).
- Cannot match any of the 1000 most popular passwords (there is a list of unpermitted words that is updated with each release).
NOTE: Although WAVE does not allow users to modify the password
requirements, users with LDAP/Active Directory integration can enforce
their own password policy for their organization.
Resetting Passwords
To reset the password for WAVE Sync-connected systems, complete these steps.
- Open the built-in password function, or click https://sync.wavevms.com/authorize/restore_password. The Reset Password screen appears.
- Enter your email address, then click Reset Password. The system sends an email, and you are asked to enter a new password.
- For systems not connected to WAVE Sync, the System Owner or System Admin must reset the password.
NOTE: If the Owner password is lost, the system must be re-installed.
