Having trouble getting in to your iDevAffiliate admin center?<\/div>\n

We have a couple suggestions for you as well as a manual reset process. The first thing to do is make sure you’re trying to login at the correct location. Often times, its easy to mistake the affiliate dashboard login for the admin center login. Be sure you are trying to login at the \/admin location of your installation.<\/p>\n
