Managing password questions
If you forget your password, you can change it at any time in the Web Portal (see Changing passwords). To do this, you need to define individual questions that only you can answer.
If your password questions are answered incorrectly several times, they may be locked (depending on the system configuration).
TIP: Once a password question is locked because you answered it incorrectly, you will be asked to answer another password question. This is repeated until there are not enough (unlocked) password questions left. To be on the safe side, make sure you create enough password questions.
If the Web Portal is configured accordingly, password questions are deleted after successful use.
