Introduction
This article describes the steps to reset your password for a UCO account. At the University of Central Oklahoma, Faculty and Staff must change their password every 210 days. A password reset reminder is emailed at 30 days, 14 days, 7 days, 3 days, 2 days and 1 day. Faculty and Staff may change their password at any time to keep their account secure.
Instructions
Use the Self-Service Password Change utility to create a new password for your account.
NOTE: You must have access to your alternate email address associated with your UCO Account before using this tool.
See
Alternate Email Address for UCO Accounts for instructions to update and verify your alternate email.
Reset Your Password
- Go to the Self-Service Password Change Utility at https://reset.uco.edu/.
- Enter your UCO username or Student ID number.
- Select the checkbox next to "I'm not a robot" or enter the CAPTCHA text.
- Click on the Search button.
- Click the Send Reset Email button to receive a password reset link in your registered non-UCO email account. (Note: The link may take up to 15 minutes to be delivered.)
- The page should refresh and notify you that an email containing a password change link has been sent to your registered non-UCO email address.
- Once you receive the password reset email, click on the link provided in the email and follow the instructions to set a new password.
Note: If you do not receive the password change emails, please check your "Spam" or "Junk Mail" folders. If necessary, you can change the non-UCO email address affiliated with your account.
After changing your password, update all devices connected to the UCO system (Wifi, Email, UCONNECT, D2L, etc.) with your new password. Failed login attempts due to an old/incorrect password will result in your account being “locked.”
