Are there time limitations or other restrictions on my password?
Yes, there are both use and time limitations:
- An account will be locked after three failed logon attempts. The user may contact the SO-IS (Division Information Services Officer) to have his/her account unlocked. However, when trying to access and you are unable to enter with two tries, exit the entire system then retry entry. This will give you two more opportunities to enter. As long as you do not try the 3rd time you will not be locked out.
- After 45 days of inactivity, the user account will be locked. If there is no user activity for a total of 90 days, the user account will be dropped.
How are passwords reset?
A password reset tool is now provided for members to reset their own password when the password is forgotten or have not logged on in 45 days and you are locked out. The direct link to the password reset webpage is provided on the AuxData entrance webpage (scroll down near to the bottom of the page to the section titled "Password Reset Tool". However, if you have not signed on in 90 days or more, your access is gone. You then must contact your SO-IS (Division Information Services Officer) with a request that access be again assigned.
