If this does not work, contact another Learning Administrator within your organization and request they logon and unlock your account (if required) and change your password in.

If the password fields are not being shown, please enable the option "Allow admin passwords to be changed" from global variables (System Admin > Configuration > Global Variables > Password Settings).


Useful Information for Self-Recovery:

  • When logging in for the first time, ensure that the Administrators create a security question and remember the answer
  • Confirm all Learning Administrators have the e-mail Address populated in their profile
  • Ensure that the option is enabled in System Administration > Configuration > Global Applicaiton Settings > Password Settings > Allow administrators to request their password


NOTE: SAP SuccessFactors security policy does not allow Support Engineers to reset customer passwords, except where there is a system issue preventing the recovery measures depicted in this article.  
In this case, please contact Technical Support detailing what steps have already been taken to recover the Administrator account and the issue encountered. This must be done in an case not through chat.
You will be requested for additional information to confirm your identity and there may be a delay while this is verified.
