Self-Service Password Reset Portal
Forgot your NetID? Claim/recover your NetID.
All MSUB student, faculty, and staff must set up a new user profile in the password reset utility before they will be able to change/set their NetID password. It doesn't matter if you've been at MSUB for years or are new to campus, a new user profile must be set up.
What's required when setting up a new profile?
- Everyone must set up a new user profile before they use the tool the first time.
- New user setup requires configuration of challenge questions and also the option to set up an alternative email and/or text messaging for future resets.
- Setting up a new profile requires you to enter your NetID and then provide your MSUB ID (-12345678) and Date of Birth (MMDDYYYY or 07211996).
Note: User profiles can be set up and updated at any time without having to change your NetID.
