   title Note Concerning Incorrect Logins
   Starting with Aptify 5.5.5, when you attempt to login into the Aptify web interface with your credentials, either trusted (Windows domain) or non-trusted (SQL users), if there is a problem with the password, an error is displayed. For example, if the password is expired, the account locked, or the account disabled, the appropriate message will display informing you of the issue. Note: If you have problems logging in, the message instructs you to contact their system administrator. In future releases of the Aptify web interfaces, you will have the ability to reset their own passwords.
