Click the Login button

If this is your first time using Password Self-Service, you will be prompted to enter challenge questions that can be used later on to reset your password in the event you forget it.

The first question is your Mother's first name. The second question is one in which you create both the question and the answer.

Make sure to use a question that you will remember, that is unlikely to change and that others would not know the answer to.

Once you have successfully created your challenge questions, you will be taken into the Password Self-Service Portal.

Changing the Temporary Password

To proceed with changing your temporary password to a new password of your choosing,
Click on the "Change Password" link on the left

Paste the temporary password (Ctrl V) in the "Old password" box

Type in a new password which meets the minimum requirements listed above in the Password Self-Service Portal - (minimum 8 characters with at least 1 uppercase, 1 lowercase, and 1 number)

Retype the new password and click the Submit button.

If the password was successfully changed, it will say "Password Changed" at the top.
