How to recover your username or reset a forgotten password without assistance from IT Services.

Body

 

Overview


Your ECU username and password will be the same for nearly all systems including ECU email, Moodle, Adobe, Zoom and MyEC. If you are locked out, you may be able to recover access without assistance from IT Services.

This article demonstrates how to:

  1. Recover a lost username
  2. Reset a forgotten password
NOTE - To use self-service password recovery you must have already registered a 2-Factor-Authentication (2FA) method.  If you have not registered 2FA and are locked out, create a ticket from this page and we will provide assistance.
