NOTE : Password Manager is used to synchronize your UCI Health HS account password with your UCInetID password. However, the first time you change your password, you may receive an error that NOT ALL system passwords were changed. This is because your UCInetID has not been activated. Please go to https://activate.uci.edu to activate your UCInetID or consult the UCInetID documentation.
To synchronize your HS password with the UCInetID passwords, be sure to keep the UCInetID checkbox checked.
Section 7: Un-lock your HS account.
If you get locked out of your HS account, e.g. too many failed login attempts, you can unlock it using the Password Manager.
