Self-Service Password Portal
All MSUB students, faculty, and staff must set up a new user profile in the password reset page before they will be able to set or change 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?
- You will need to know your NetID when setting up your password profile. Please check your acceptance letter for your NetID. If you've forgotten or don't have NetID you can claim/recover your NetID.
- 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.
