2. On the System Administrator menu, select Roles and Logon > Change Password.
3. On the Change Password page for Password, type your new master password, following the requirements shown on the page. See Logon Setup.
4. For Confirm Password, type the new password again to confirm.

A separate system function is provided to reset the Master password to a new secure code. This function is available in the installed System Maintenance utility, for which you must have Administrative access.

1. From the Start menu on the administrator's system, select All Programs > Sage Employee Self Service > System Maintenance.
2. In the System Maintenance utility on the Configurations and Settings tab, click the Generate Master Password button. A secure combination of letters and numbers displays in the password field.
3. Highlight the password displayed and copy using Ctrl + c—or right-click and select Copy.
4. Log into HRMS Employee Self Service using the Master username and the copied password.
