• Click Resend activation email and the system will send the contact an email with instructions on setting up their password. 

Change an existing password

Change a username

Note: Changing a contact's email address will not automatically update their username. You will need to do this by following the steps below.

Reset an existing username

• Click on the Forgot your username? link. You will be taken to the Forgot Login page.
  
• Enter your email address. If you get a message saying "We couldn't find an existing account in our system with that e-mail" then you do not have a Username assigned. Please follow the Create a new contact process.
