What is the first step to reset a CANES user password?

The first step to reset a CANES user password involves accessing the Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) interface, specifically for CANES Users. This action allows administrators to locate the specific user account that needs a password reset. Active Directory plays a vital role in managing user accounts in a network environment, including password management.

Using ADUC, administrators can efficiently navigate through the user directory, find the correct user, and initiate the password reset process. This step ensures that the reset is performed accurately and securely for the intended account, adhering to protocols established for user management within the CANES system.

While other options may involve interacting with various tools relevant to user management, they do not represent the initial necessary action required to reset a user password effectively in a structured environment such as CANES.
