3. How many
times can I attempt to login before the system locks me out?
You are allowed 5 attempts to
login before the system locks you out.
4. What can I do if I am locked out of the system due to 5 failed login attempts?
After 5 login attempts you
will be locked out of the system for one day. If you need access to ARIS
immediately, you should send an email request to aris@ars.usda.gov; provide your User Id and request
that your account be unlocked. Unlocking the account does not reset your
password, enabling you to login using your current password.
5. What can I
do if I forget my current ARIS password?
You must send an email request
to aris@ars.usda.gov and provide your login ID. The ARIS Support
Team will create a new temporary password for your account and email it to you. After you login to the ARIS system using the
new password, the system will ask you to change your password using the
password creation rules (listed above).
6. Can I create
a previously used password?
The system keeps track of your last five passwords, so
you can not reuse one of those previous passwords.
7.
Other ARIS account and password questions?
If you have any ARIS login
account or password problems, please send an email request to aris@ars.usda.gov. Include your login account (User ID)
and a brief description of the problem and someone from the ARIS Support Team
will assist you.
