Emergency Password Reset Mechanism
If you forget your password, it may be temporarily reset to allow access to the encoded password
list. To use this feature, type "override" in the User ID field of the RCU Login screen and select
the "Login" button.
You will be presented with a message that says to contact Tech Support with a five digit number
(Permit #). Please leave this prompt on the screen until you speak with your Technical Support
Representative.
After receiving an override number, type this number into the "Password" field and click the
"Login" button. You will have temporary access to the "Settings" screen, where you can view the
user list and passwords.
NOTE: If the override number is entered incorrectly, it can be re-entered. If the number is
entered incorrectly the second time, a new number is required.
