Password Reset Not Working

Requested a password reset but something's not quite right? Let's work through the common issues together.

Not Receiving the Reset Email

Check Your Spam and Junk Folders

Password reset emails sometimes get caught by spam filters:

  • Open your email's spam or junk folder

  • Search for emails from "Tourism Accelerator" or "[email protected]"

  • If found, mark the email as "Not Spam" to ensure future emails arrive correctly

Verify the Email Address

Make sure you're entering the correct email:

  • Use the exact email address you registered with

  • Check for typos (e.g., ".com" vs ".com.au")

  • Try any alternative email addresses you might have used

Wait a Few Minutes

Sometimes emails take a little while to arrive:

  • Wait 5-10 minutes before requesting another reset

  • Check your inbox again, including spam folders

  • Avoid requesting multiple resets in quick succession, as this can delay delivery

Check Your Email Filters

If you use email rules or filters:

  • Review your email filter settings

  • Ensure emails from Tourism Accelerator aren't being automatically archived or deleted

  • Add our email addresses to your safe senders list

Whitelist Our Email Addresses

Add these addresses to your contacts or safe senders list:

Reset Link Not Working

Link Has Expired

Password reset links expire after 24 hours for security reasons:

  • Request a new password reset from the login page

  • Use the new link as soon as possible

  • Don't close the browser tab until you've completed the reset

Link Already Used

Each reset link can only be used once:

  • If you've already reset your password, try logging in with your new password

  • If you need to change it again, request a fresh reset link

Link Appears Broken or Incomplete

Sometimes email systems break long links:

  • Try copying the entire link manually (it may span multiple lines)

  • Paste it directly into your browser's address bar

  • Ensure no extra spaces were added when copying

Browser Issues

Your browser might be interfering with the reset process:

  • Clear your browser cache and cookies

  • Try using a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)

  • Disable any browser extensions temporarily

  • Try using an incognito/private browsing window

Error Messages During Reset

"Invalid Token" Error

This usually means the reset link has expired or been used:

  • Request a new password reset

  • Use the link immediately after receiving it

  • Don't click the link multiple times

"Password Doesn't Meet Requirements" Error

Your new password must meet our security standards:

  • At least 8 characters long

  • Include at least one uppercase letter

  • Include at least one lowercase letter

  • Include at least one number

  • Include at least one special character (!@#$%^&*)

"Something Went Wrong" Error

If you see a generic error:

  • Wait a few minutes and try again

  • Clear your browser cache

  • Try a different browser or device

  • Request a new reset link if the problem persists

Preventing Future Issues

To avoid password reset problems in the future:

  • Save your password securely – Use a password manager to store your credentials

  • Update your email address – If you change email providers, update your account email first

  • Enable two-factor authentication – Adds an extra layer of security to your account
