Active Directory password reset

Find locked accounts, reset passwords, and unlock users from one console, with delegated access for your helpdesk.

No PowerShell Delegated access Bulk CSV Lockout troubleshooter

Included in AD Pro Toolkit, with 40+ tools in one console.

Reset and unlock without ADUC

Find the locked account, reset it, and unlock it from one screen, or hand the whole job to the helpdesk.

Find locked accounts fast. Search for a user and see lockout status right away, so you can spot and clear locked accounts in seconds.

Auto-generate strong passwords. Create a strong 16-character password with one click, or type in a specific password when you need to.

Unlock in one click. Reset the password and unlock the account at the same time, without switching between separate tools.

Force change at next logon. Require the user to set their own password on first login, so administrators never know the permanent password.

Delegate to the helpdesk. Let non-admin staff reset passwords and unlock accounts with role-based permissions, no full AD rights required.

Bulk reset from CSV. Reset an entire department or new-hire group at once by importing a CSV of the accounts to change.

Three tools, depending on whether you are chasing a lockout, changing one account, or changing hundreds.

01

Lockout troubleshooter

Find out why an account keeps locking rather than just unlocking it again. See the lockout status, when it happened, and which domain controller recorded it, so you can trace the stale credential behind it: a mapped drive, a phone still holding an old password, or a service account running somewhere nobody remembers. Go to Users > Lockout Troubleshooter, search for the account, then review the details before you unlock or reset.
02

Bulk password updates

Reset an entire department or new-hire group at once by importing a CSV of the accounts to change. Every account can be forced to change at next logon, so you are never the one holding a permanent password. Go to Users > Update Passwords, download the CSV template and enter the accounts, then select the file and run.
03

Unlock and reset

Reset the password and unlock the account at the same time, without switching between separate tools. Generate a strong 16-character password with one click, or type in a specific one, and require the user to change it at next logon. Go to Users > Password Reset & Unlock, search for the locked or expired account, then set the new password.
