HELP VIDEO:  Unlocking Your User Account

If your account has been locked, it will automatically unlock after 60 minutes.  To unlock your account before 60 minutes, when signing into ILogin, expand the "Need Help?" and click on the "Unlock Account?" link to initiate the account unlock.  You will be asked to enter in your current email address or username and select a security option to verify your identity (SMS, Voice Call, or Email).  You will be required to provide your security question answer during the reset password process.  Once you have unlocked your account, you may then need to initiate the Forgot Your Password process.
