Ever wondered what orms a substantial part of all helpdesk calls? Password reset requests! Now, Aladdin Multimedia launches Tools4ever’s ‘Self Service Reset Password Management (SSRPM)’ software that can help end-users reset their own passwords! This drastically reduces downtime and also the number of calls to the Helpdesk, according to a company press release.

 SSRPM offers end-users an interface which is both secure and easy to use. At the same time, administrators are offered full control over the validation process. They determine the validation questions and specify how many questions must be correctly answered to allow a password reset. This virtually eliminates any possible errors in the reset password process.

Self Service Reset Password Management is based on the principle that an end-user can reset his own password, without involvement of the helpdesk, by simply answering a series of challenge questions.
