Description

The online password reset feature allows anyone with a campus computing account to change their Kerberos password or reset a forgotten password from their computer using an automated Web-based process. This feature allows account holders to select two or more questions that will be used later to verify their identity when they return to change or reset their passwords. Online password reset is an integral part of the new account set up and password change processes that can be accessed from the computing accounts page - https://computingaccounts.ucdavis.edu.

To set up this feature, account holders who know their Kerberos passwords should go to https://computingaccounts.ucdavis.edu/ and select "Change your Password". Those who have forgotten their passwords prior to setting up online password reset will need to take a photo ID to the IT Express office in 182 Shields Library to obtain a new password before setting up this feature.

Availability

Online Password Reset rolled out to the campus on August 18, 2004.
