I want to log in to Chief Architect's website, but I forgot my password! What can I do?
At this time, there are three different sections of the Chief Architect website you could potentially log in to, so first you need to determine which section of the website it is that you want to access.
- My Account - The main website login, which allows users with current Support & Software Assurance to download the software, bonus and manufacturer content, and watch online tutorial training videos.
- ChiefTalk - Our free online user forum
- Online Support Center - For current version software users with Support and Software Assurance to contact our Support team in order to troubleshoot technical issues such as error messages, program crashes, problems with installation, etc.
Main website Support and Software Assurance login
This is the only login that was created for you automatically, which occurred when you purchased Chief Architect as a software download with Support and Software Assurance (SSA).
Logging in to the main website
- If you are current with your Support and Software Assurance, you can log in to your My Account page by going to - http://login.chiefarchitect.com/login
- If you don't remember your password, click on the "Lost your Password?" link.
- Type in your e-mail address, and click the Reset button.
- Check your e-mail for the temporary password, and log in to the website using it.
If the "password" field is already filled out by your web browser, delete anything in that field before putting in the new temporary password. - Once you have logged in to your "My Account" page, under Account Settings, click on the Change Your Password link and change from the temporary password, which will expire, to a secure password that you will remember for logging in to the website in the future.
