Enter your search term in the search box; if the user exists, they will appear in the table below:

Once you've located the user, click that row; a new window will open with all of that user's information:

## Setting or changing the password

In the password section, you can generate a password for that user (if they don't have one) or replace an existing one with a new one.

Once the password has been reset or created, a message appears at the top of the screen and that user will be able to log in to the console.
