You will need to contact your Encompassing Visions System Administrator to have your User ID reactivated.
System Down for Maintenance
If the system is locked for maintenance, you may see this message:
Reset Password
People who need to access ENCV – perhaps only once or twice a year to complete a learning and growth review - no longer need to contact the the System Administrator to get their passwords reset if they have forgotten them. A secure, easy to use feature called ‘User Id/Password Reset’ has been added. Located on the main menu if the policy is turned on. See Administration>System Settings>Security>Passwords
Forced Password Change/Expired Password
If you are logging in to Encompassing Visions for the first time or for the first time after the Encompassing Visions System Administrator has reset your password, you will be required to change your password:
Enter the password into both fields.
Click CHANGE to accept your new password.
If the Expiry policy has been set to 'YES' for passwords to expire you will see the following message:
Default Users
There are three default user IDs established at system setup:
•Admin1 - admin1/admin1
•Admin2 - admin2/admin2
•Admin3 - admin3/admin3
The passwords match the user ID. These passwords should get changed immediately upon set up of the system.
Important Notes:
•Encompassing Visions User IDs and Passwords are case sensitive. Make sure you capitalize appropriately.
•Passwords must be a minimum of six characters (alpha, numeric, symbols) and may be reused.
Failed Login Attempts
Auditing the number of failed attempts to log on by a user helps you learn about brute force and other password attacks on the server.
Account lockout policy disables a user account if the user enters an incorrect password a specified number of times within a specified time. These policy settings help you to prevent attackers from guessing users' passwords, and they decrease the likelihood of successful attacks on your network.
