Retrieving a Lost Password

With your clinic's Open ACU account you cannot retrieve a lost password because passwords are encrypted. You can request your password to be reset. If you request a password reset you will be sent an email with a link. That link will give you an opportunity to reset the password. Be advised that reset links expire after 4 hours.
