Password Management - Setup Password Reset

Self-service Password Reset is a Microsoft-featured tool that will allow enrolled users to reset their own passwords. Once registered with password reset, staff, faculty, and students will be able to reset their password or unlock their account anytime without having to contact ITS! To take advantage, make sure that you register for Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) to enable the feature.

NOTE: Before you can use the SSPR tool, you must set up password reset prior(register). If you are unable to login to myEOL contact the Eagle Technical Assistance Center (ITS helpdesk) at 919-530-7676 for assistance with resetting password.
