I was sustained as ward clerk two months ago. When I tried to use the information in the Help Center article to login to StaplesAdvantage, the password was rejected. I asked around and could find no one in my ward who had ever ordered supplies from Staples (or admitted to doing so). One previous ward clerk (who has since moved out) told me he had changed the password, but couldn't tell me what he changed it to.
To reset a StaplesAdvantage password, you must "Enter the email address listed on profile" in the password reset page. So I went to CDOL.lds.org, found the list of all previous ward clerks, and copied/pasted each email address into the StaplesAdvantage password reset page until I discovered the email address in the profile for our account. Then I called that previous ward clerk (who is now serving as our EQ President), and asked him to reset the password back to the default.
WOW! That was way too much work. That's what happens when you have a bishop who changes his ward clerk at least twice each calendar year. For some reason, he believes the ward clerk position is good training for the executive secretary job. Go figure.
