Password Reset
For Security reasons even we cannot recover your admin password. If you forget your admin password there is no way to recover it. You must reset it. Below describes the steps you must follow:
Automated Password Reset
If you set up any email settings within the application there is a Reset Password link on the login screen. You can put in your username/email on this screen and you will be e-mailed a reset password link.
Click "Reset password?" and follow the instructions
Didn't Receive an email?
If you don't receive an email this usually means you did not have an email address on file for the employee and/or store within the application and you will have to follow the Manual Password Reset instructions below.
Manual Password Reset
If you cannot get the reset password to work using the above method, then you will need to manually access database and change password.
