Overview
Occasionally, a password expires or locks and must be reset. We recommend the self-service online portal (Option 1) as the most convenient method for resetting your password. However, if you need help, we are happy to assist. See options 2 and 3.
Option 1. Self-Service Maintenance Portal (Recommended)
The steps below are for current faculty, staff, students, retirees, unpaid affiliates (ECU users) and alumni who have already activated their PirateID account. First-time users will be prompted to enroll. For an overview and instructions (all users), see the Accounts - Access category in the IT Knowledge Base. Note that updating your password through the SSPR portal does not update any mobile app logins.
