To manage accounts, we will first need to access the admin portal. To do so, visit [https://www.google.com Google's homepage] and click on the menu dropdown in the upper-right hand corner. From there, look for the 'Admin' app.
To access the Admin Portal, you need to be logged in to an account with admin privileges. Double check your login to make sure you're in the correct account! The account should end in ''@njesd.net''

=== 3. Reset the Account's Password ===
Upon finding the appropriate account and clicking on its name from the dropdown, you should now be viewing the account's settings page.
Around the center-left side of the page is a menu, positioned right underneath the account name and email. One of the menu items is the '''<code>Reset Password</code>''' button. Go ahead and click that to initiate the password reset.
You can choose to allow Google to generate a random password, or to assign a specific password to the account. We recommend the latter option, with the <code>'''Ask user to change their password when they sign in'''</code> option checked.
Once you have created the new password, click on the '''<code>Reset button</code>'''. After a few seconds, the account password will have been reset.
From here, simply provide the account holder with the newly created password and the system will automatically prompt them to generate a new one once they log in.
