In certain circumstances, you may also have your password reset by telephone by calling the ExtraNet Call Centre. This may be necessary, for example, if you have forgotten your password or have entered it incorrectly three times in a row. However, you may only reset your password by phone if, following a successful initial registration, you gave a question-answer combination in Administration of your registration data / secondary registration which then serves as a security check.
