Step-By-Step
Forgot Your Password?
(Text version)

1. Blackboard provides users with a "forgotten password" function that allows them to re-set their Blackboard account with a new password. To use this function, direct your browser to: http://blackboard.tufts.edu. This displays the Blackboard splash page.

2. Click on the "login" button. This will display the login dialogue box.

3. Click on the "Forgot Your Password?" link located below the login dialogue box. This will display the Lost Password form.

4. You can re-set your password by filling out either section 1(Find User With Username) or section 2 (Find User(s) with E-Mail).

• To use section 1, Type in your First Name, Last Name and Username. These must be identical to how they appear in your current Blackboard account.
• To use section 2, Type in your First Name, Last Name and E-Mail address. These must be identical to how they appear in your current Blackboard account.

5. Click on the "Submit" button on the bottom of the page. A receipt will be displayed telling you that an e-mail has been sent to your Blackboard e-mail address containing a link which will enable you to re-set your Blackboard password.

6. In a few minutes you should receive at your Blackboard e-mail address an e-mail that contains a link to your "Change Password" form. Click on the link. This will open the "Change Password" for for your account form. Type in a new password in the "Password" box and type the same password again in the "Verify Password" box. Finally, click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page. A receipt will be displayed telling you that your password has been updated, and a link to the Blackboard login dialogue box.
