Incidents (Break/Fix) and Service Requests (New/Change to Service) are often long debated by companies new to ITSM (IT Service Management).

Password Reset Requests do not make the differentiation any easier. Are they a break/fix or service request?
Can Password Resets even be logged by a user? Of course!

There are many passwords besides your Single Sign-On (SSO) password.
Self Service Customer Portals can be configured to allow anonymous Incidents and Service Requests.
You could always ask a colleague to log a ticket for you.
You could just pick up the phone and use the Interactive Response System (IVR), Ivanti Voice to submit a password reset.
You could just pick up the phone and call the Service Desk who then logs the Ticket.

The subject actually goes much deeper as Incidents are viewed negatively. More incidents, more issues, higher IT instability. While Service Requests are positively viewed as a demand for IT services.
