Follow these steps if you've forgotten your business systems password or if your password no longer works.

1. Open the Reset My Password screen.

Enter all 4 pieces of requested information:

User ID, which can be either of the following:
- Your full, official UCSD e-mail address (aname@ucsd.edu)
  - If you don't have one, see Getting a UCSD e-mail address or contact the ITS Service Desk.
- Your mainframe ID (6-digit code)
UCSD employee ID number, which can be found on your campus/ staff ID card, your paycheck stub, or your Surepay earnings statement
Last 4 digits of your Social Security number
Birth date

Click the Continue button.

The information you provided is affiliated with your e-mail address. A temporary password will be sent to you.
Your DSA will receive an e-mail message that you've reset your own password.

Note: If you receive an e-mail, but you didn't request a new password, contact your Department Security Administrator (DSA) or the ITS Service Desk.

Use the temporary password the next time you sign on.
This password is valid for only one use. When you sign on, you'll be prompted to create a new, permanent password.
Choose and confirm a password. Follow the security guidelines on screen. Your password must:
- Be 6 to 8 characters of mixed alphabetic, numeric, @, #, or $.
- Not contain a common word found in a dictionary

If you need assistance, contact the ITS Service Desk, (858) 246-4357 or ext. 6-HELP.
