6. Clicking on "Reset Password" will send an e-mail to your client from a "donotreply@ftwilliam.com" address. The e-mail will contain a link for your client to follow, which will log him/her into the Portal and he/she will be prompted to enter a new password.

Note: if you reset the password for your client by following the steps listed above, your client will not need to answer his/her challenge questions and answers.
