Resetting your Admin password in TimeClick only takes a minute, but there’s one key thing to know first.

If you can’t log in because the Admin password is completely forgotten, reach out to our support team. We’ll send you a temporary override password that works for that day only. Once you’re in, you’ll use that temporary password as your “current password” to create a new one.
