ServiceNow User unable to log in

Incorrect credentials or account lockout.

Understanding ServiceNow

ServiceNow is a powerful cloud-based platform designed to help organizations manage digital workflows for enterprise operations. It is widely used for IT service management (ITSM), IT operations management (ITOM), and IT business management (ITBM). The platform provides a range of tools for automating and streamlining business processes, including chat and communication tools that facilitate seamless interaction among users.

Symptom: User Unable to Log In

One common issue faced by users of ServiceNow is the inability to log in to their accounts. This problem can manifest as repeated login failures, error messages indicating incorrect credentials, or account lockouts after multiple failed attempts.

Details of the Issue

Incorrect Credentials

Often, login issues arise due to incorrect username or password entries. Users may inadvertently enter wrong credentials, leading to access denial.

Account Lockout

ServiceNow accounts may become locked after several unsuccessful login attempts. This security measure is designed to protect user accounts from unauthorized access.

Steps to Fix the Issue

Verify Credentials

First, ensure that the username and password being entered are correct. Double-check for any typing errors or case sensitivity issues. If you have forgotten your password, use the password reset feature provided by ServiceNow.

Reset Account

If the account is locked, you will need to reset it. Follow these steps:

  1. Contact your system administrator or IT support team to request an account unlock.
  2. Once unlocked, log in with the correct credentials.
  3. If necessary, update your password to something memorable but secure.

Additional Resources

For more detailed guidance, refer to the ServiceNow documentation on resetting user passwords and unlocking accounts. Additionally, consider implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhanced security, as outlined in the Security Operations section of the ServiceNow website.
