Resetting Password and Hint

Reset Password

To reset the Password and set up a new Password Hint to add security to the password process:

  1. Click <Reset Password> to display a Reset Password prompt.

  2. Click <OK> to display the Reset Password Window.

  3. Key a Hint in the first field, then key the Answer to the hint. Example: Hint: Pet's Name. Answer: Sampson.

  4. Click <Submit> to save your Hint and Answer. AdVault will send a new password to your email address.

The next time you need to reset your password, all you have do is key the Answer to your hint in order to get a new password. If you forget the Answer to your hint, then you will have to call Mediaplex Operations staff to send you a password.

If you forget your password, you may click the <Forgotten Your Password?> button on the logon screen to view the instructions for sending an e-mail to security@mediaplex.com.
