Problem (Issue) Statement:

One of the admin user forgot the newly created password, how to reset the password back to the default password

Description:

System User is used to access the Server and Client software. For every System User account created, the default password will be prompted upon saving the changes during the record creation. Normally, we recommend user to change the password during their first time login to the software. 

However, if they forgot their newly updated password, we cannot help to retrieve it back because the password is encrypted in our database. The only solution available is to reset the current password back to the default password.
