What if I forget my password?

If you forget your password, you can:

• Use the Hofstra Self-Service Password System to reset your password.
• Have it reset by SCS. This procedure takes time, which you may not have if there's an assignment due, or if you're expecting important e-mail. Make it a priority to find a way to remember your password. To reset your password, visit SCS office in Calkins Lab or the ResNet Office.
