Our guess is that a number of your employees are returning from their summer holidays and can’t remember their passwords. Are we right? It’s confession time from me .. I had to think hard to remember mine!

Drink by the CaribbeanStatistics suggest that as much as 20-50% of all help desk calls are related to password problems, and the scenario with forgotten passwords after a holiday is classic and a real pain to many IT departments.

SMS PASSCODE’s Password Reset Module takes this pain away by enabling users to easily reset their own Active Directory passwords in a secure way. The solution offers automated user notification and places intuitive self-service capabilities in the hands of the user. Take a look at this video from SMS Passcode for an quick overview of how it works.

(Btw, I did remember mine in the end, in case you were wondering!)
