Today, SharePoint administrators spend a significant amount of time handling user requests for resetting their passwords when users either forget their password and/or lock themselves out of the system. Administrators have to reset the user's password in Active Directory, NT Directory or SQL Membership Provider and then contact the user with a new temporary password to enable the user to log in. While these requests do not take up too much time individually, collectively they can be time consuming and tedious compared to the everyday tasks that need to be completed to ensure your network is running efficiently.
