Frequently Asked Questions - Post My ILEX Registration

I have not received notification of my password?

Your password will be sent to the email address indicated during the registration process.  For members who applied using the ILEX Online Membership Application service, access to MyILEX is only available once the application is complete and approved.  An email should be received at this time and include your MyILEX password,

Delivery of Internet email is not guarranteed to be instantaneous and can, depending on geographic location, Internet Service Provider, general Internet network problems or levels of email traffic, be subject to delay.  This delay is outside the control of ILEX.   Should you have reason to think the delay is only affecting your password notification;  Check your "spam" folders (where provided) to ensure your email provider has not decided to treat the email as unsolicited advertising.  Register again with the MyILEX service.  Should you still not receive your password notification please contact ILEX here.

When I try to Login to the My ILEX service....

Login reports “Your logon attempt was not successful”

Check the Username and/or the password is entered correctly.  The Username is not case sensitive but the Password is case sensitive. Check the "Caps lock" key to ensure you control how characters are being entered.   If you Cut/Paste the details, make sure the data contains only the correct character (no leading/trailing spaces or other spurious data).

Login reports “Your account has been locked

As a security feature, ILEX allows 3 (three) attempts to enter the correct account password.  After these attempts the account is automatically disabled.  ILEX Members can reset their own account simply by Registering with the MyILEX service again.  This will reset the account and send a replacement password to the email address provided.

Login report “This is not a valid email address”

Check the input of the email address ("username") for the account.  Avoid entering symbols or characters not allowed in a standard Internet email address.  Depending on your keyboard particular care is required to avoid entering a "," (comma) when a "." (period) is required.

What does the “Remember me” tick box option mean?

The "Remember me" tick-box allows the user to indicate that on the computer currently being used to access the service, you wish to store certain "login" information on the computer so future access to the MyILEX service does not require you to Login again to the service.  You remain in effect, permanently "logged in".   This only operates if  the user does not "Logout" from the MyILEX service.   You are advised not to use this facility on public computers or computers not personally owned by you, or not restricted to your sole use (for more account security information see here). 

I have forgotten my password

The MyILEX service provides a "Forgotten Password" service which can be located on the Login and Registration page of MyILEX.  If you are uncertain about the email address the password will be sent to members are advised to Register again with the MyILEX service.

I have forgotten my username

Your username will be the email address supplied by you when you registered with MyILEX.  You may have received emails from the service which might help identify the email address in use.  If not, members are advised to Register again with the MyILEX service.

How do I change the email address (username) used to access the service?

Members are able to Register (or Re-register) with the My ILEX service at any time.  This can also be used to amend the email address used to access the service.
