## Log on and off PPM

The standard interface is a set of PPM Web pages that you can access through a Web browser over a network. Before logging on, you must have the following:

- PPM Web address (URL)

- Username

- Password

- At least one PPM product license

To log on to PPM:

1. Open your web browser and enter the PPM web address.

   The PPM Logon page opens.

   Note: Your screen resolution should be at least 1024 x 768 when you use PPM.

2. Enter your username, password, and session language in the appropriate fields.

   If you want the server to retain a password, select the Remember me check box. Once this check box is selected, you do not have to enter a password each time you log on.

   For more information about session languages, see Multilingual User Interface.

3. On the PPM Logon page, click Sign-In.

   The Web pages open. First-time users might be prompted for a new password.

To log off:

- At the upper-right corner of the page, click the user icon, and then click Sign Out.

## Reset your password

If you cannot remember your password, you can reset it and create a new one.

Prerequisite:

1. Your administrator has turned on the Enable Reset Password feature toggle.

2. You must meet the following requirements:

   - You are a PPM authenticated user, and
   - Your PPM account is not expired, and
   - Your username has an email address assigned to it.

To reset your password:

1. In the PPM Login window, click the Forgot Password link.

   You can also open the Forgot Password link from the Change Password page.

2. Provide your PPM username and the email address assigned to the username.

   Note: If you use ID to log on to PPM, provide the ID instead of the username.

3. Click Submit.

   PPM sends an email message to the email address assigned to your PPM username. Click the link in the email to set a new password.

4. After you successfully set a new password, the PPM Login window opens, enabling you to log in using your new password.
