Changing Your NetID Password
Students, staff, faculty can change their NetID password if they know their current NetID password. If you do not know your current password, you can reset it using an online form.
If you ever suspect that you were a victim of a phishing scam or that your NetID credentials were compromised in any way, change your password immediately to one you have not used before. For help creating a strong and memorable password see Creating Strong Passwords or Passphrases.
