Self-Service Password Reset

Students & Staff have the ability to reset their own DE password, if they have configured their password reset settings.

• Requires three out of four of the following:

  • Lowercase characters.

  • Numbers (0-9).

  • Symbols (@ # $ % ^ & * - _ ! + = [ ] { } | \ : ' , . ? / ` ~ " ( ) ; < >)

Setting or Updating Password Reset Options

Configuring account recovery is as simple as specifying a phone number or alternate (non-DE) email address to use in case you cannot remember your own DE password. To register your Account Recovery options, go here:
