This video demonstrates how to successfully navigate the customer administration screen to both set and reset a customer PIN using the Wise Staff client.

 

Reset password

Customer passwords are used to sign in to My account.  If a customer forgets their password, it can be reset in the Wise staff client. Resetting a password in the Client will force the customer to create a new password the next time they sign in to the OPAC using the temporary password generated in the Client. 

For security purposes, old passwords cannot be viewed within the Wise staff client. If a customer forgets their password, it must be reset.  If a customer has not created a password, Reset password is not available.
 

To reset a password:

  1. Go to Customer > Reset password. A confirmation message appears.
  2. Click Yes to reset the password. The option to create a one-time password appears.
    • Click Yes to allow the system to generate a temporary password. The assigned password will appear on the screen, or if the computer is connected to a receipt printer, the temporary password can be printed and handed to the customer. The customer can use this temporary password to reset their password in My Account.

 Note: Only randomly generated passwords can be created from the Wise staff client. If a password reset is not needed, customers can sign in to My account and navigate to My account details to set a password of their choosing. Customer passwords must consist of 8 or more characters and contain at least 1 capital letter, 1 lowercase letter, 1 digit and 1 character (!, @, $, %, ^, &, *, (, ), ?).
