3. Forgot password

End user 4 min read

1 WHAT IT IS

There are three different ways to get a new password in Bizzmine, depending on whether you're signed in, locked out, or need an administrator to help you. If your account uses Single Sign-On or Active Directory, none of these apply — your password is managed entirely outside Bizzmine by your organisation's own system.

2 WHO IT'S FOR

Audience: End user    Reading time: 4 min

Any Bizzmine user who needs to change or reset their password, or who wants to understand what to do when they can't sign in.

3 PREREQUISITES

No prerequisites. If you're already signed in, you can change your password from your profile settings. If you're locked out, use the login screen or contact your administrator.

4 HOW IT WORKS

Option 1 — Change your password while signed in

If you know your current password and just want to update it, open your account profile settings, find the Password section, and click Reset Password. A form appears asking for your old password and a new one (entered twice). After saving, you'll see a confirmation message.

  1. Open your profile settings (click your name or avatar in the top bar).
  2. Go to the Password section and click Reset Password.
  3. Enter your Old Password, then your New Password twice.
  4. Click Save. A success message confirms the change.

Note on password rules: Bizzmine does not show password requirements or a strength meter while you type. If your new password is rejected, you'll see a general error message rather than a specific explanation — try something longer or more varied and submit again.

Option 2 — Forgot your password (can't sign in at all)

If you're locked out, you don't need to find anything inside Bizzmine itself. Signing in already takes you to Bizzmine's own sign-in page, hosted separately from the rest of the app — that page is where password recovery happens too. This is a completely separate path from Option 1, since you're not signed in yet.

Exactly what that page shows and what happens next — an emailed reset link, a security question, etc. — depends on how your organisation has set things up. If nothing arrives or you're unsure what to expect, contact your administrator or IT team.

Option 3 — An administrator resets it for you

If you're completely locked out and "Forgot password?" isn't working, an administrator can reset your password directly from the Manage Users list. They open your user record, use the reset password action, and type a new password for you.

Bizzmine does not email you the new password automatically — the administrator enters it directly into the form. If you're told "IT reset your password," expect them to give it to you directly (in person, by chat, etc.) rather than an automated email.

SSO or Active Directory accounts

If your account is connected to your organisation's own sign-in system — Single Sign-On, Active Directory, or similar — there is no Bizzmine password to reset. In your profile settings, the Password section shows a disabled button labeled "Managed by Active Directory" (or your provider name) instead of a Reset Password option. In Manage Users, the reset password action is simply absent for these accounts.

Any password changes happen entirely inside your organisation's own system — never inside Bizzmine. Contact your administrator or IT team to reset it there.
