Resetting your Microsoft Office 365 password
Office 365 passwords cannot be reset by the learner. You must contact the support team.
When requesting a reset, include the following details:
- Your full name
- Your course name
- Your Office 365 username if known
Your username usually looks like:
123456@ecollege.onmicrosoft.com
Once support provides a temporary password:
- Sign in to Microsoft 365
- Enter the temporary password
- Create a new password
- Use this password for future access
Note
All Office 365 learner accounts are created with temporary passwords. You will be asked to change your password the first time you sign in.
