Hi Leica

If you have admin login to the hosted file then you can change the username.

Company>Users>set Up users & Roles>admin file password

From here you can change user names/passwords/roles and set up new ones. - If a person has left I would recommend changing the password to get into hosted, if the previous employee had admin login change the admin password inside the file. If they had a username & password I would change their password only but leave the user name there for any previous audit trails in case there was a problem.

I would simply set up a new user complete with their roles and password. This I would do for any employee having access to the file, no 2 users use the same login.

How do I contact your team Rav???

Can someone reply to me??? I've tried calling your support phone number and sat on hold for 9 minutes and gave up. Customer service is a joke.

Hi Leica

we have tried to help you, both Rav and I, if the information we have given you isn't helpful, then you need to re-think your question.

Rav is talking about a file name or resetting an admin password, only admin passwords can be reset by support if you have been locked out.

I have given you information based on your above post, and an employee who has left, and how to do it if you have the admin password.

9 Min. on hold is nothing, I personally have been on hold for over 1.5hrs, longer if you want to mention the name "Telstra".

If you are still having issues then you simply need to repost that you don't understand and we will guide you.

So what is the issue, do you have the admin password or not?

Hi Rav, just to clarify about changing user name and password, the original user name is all numeric but would prefer more business name like name. Can this be done by myself as i have current user name and password or do i need to contact technical support?

There is a new way to self-serve changes to the Hosted Username.
