The Buttons at the Top

The "Help" button brings you to AceProject's help system. This section offers help-related documents you can use to learn more about specific AceProject features.
The "Français" link lets you change the language used in the interface for French.

The Connection Information Fields

The "Account ID" field is used to provide the organization's account name. (e.g. Account Name = ABC Corporation / Account ID = abccorp). The system uses cookies to record your account ID. This field is not displayed when using a Superior Hosting or Source Code package, as the account ID is already provided in the URL.
The "Username" field is used to provide the user's identifier in your account. (e.g. User = John Smith / Username = jsmith). The system uses cookies to record your username.
The "Password" is linked with the username.
- You can check the "Remember Password" box if you do not want to enter your password every time you login.
- Passwords are encrypted using the "md5" cryptographic algorithm. Hence, passwords are case sensitive and neither us nor your account administrators can see them. This puts the level of security of your data at a very high level. If your forgot your password, you will have to use the "Forgot Password?" link to enter a new one, since it cannot be retrieved.

The Links at the Bottom

The "Test Drive our Demo" button lets you view AceProject's live demo, which is a dummy account you may use to perform tests outside of your actual account.
The "Forgot Password?" link lets you recover your password in case you forgot it. Upon clicking this link, you will be asked to provide your email address. Then, an email will be sent to you. It will include the required information to complete the next step, in order to enter a new password.
