IT password reset guide template
Password resets are the most common IT ticket. A clear self-service guide makes most of them disappear.
When to use it
Share the user guide with every employee; keep the verification steps for the IT team.
1. Self-service (for employees)
- Go to the sign-in page and choose “Forgot password”.
- Enter your work email.
- Approve the prompt on your authenticator app or enter the code sent to you.
- Choose a new password that meets the policy.
- Sign in again on your phone and other devices.
2. Assisted reset (for IT)
- Verify the person’s identity using an approved method, never just a chat message.
- Reset the password and force a change at next sign-in.
- Check the account for unusual activity.
- Log the ticket with the verification method used.
Tips
- Record the self-service steps with Startt; the blur tool keeps real email addresses out of the guide.
