Reset the password for an administrator
Overview
This article provides instructions on how a Druva Cloud Administrator and a Cloud Administrator can reset the account password for other administrators.
When a Cloud administrator resets the password, inSync sends an email containing a link to reset the password to the administrator who has requested for a password reset.
Note:
- Only a Druva Cloud Administrator and a Cloud Administrator can reset the password for other administrators.
- The password reset link is valid only for 24 hours.
- It is recommended to have a secondary administrator within your organization at any given time to avoid service disruptions if one of the administrators cannot log in or is no longer with the company.
- After you set your new password, ensure you keep the password secure and remember it. Druva does not have access to your data and cannot reset your account password if you forget it. Only the Druva Cloud Administrator and Cloud Administrator can reset the password of other administrators in your organization.
