NEW Faculty, Staff, Students

Overview

Faculty/staff using an ECU-managed Mac, change their password through the computer "locally," not through PirateID Self Service. See the Related Articles section on this page for a link to instructions.

Over summer 2025, our New ECU account activation process switched to the Microsoft Self-Service Password Reset system. This includes activating a new ECU account, password resets or unlocking an account. For step-by-step instructions, please see this tutorial: Tutorial - New ECU User Account Activation

We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any misunderstanding.
