How to Reset a Student's Password

If a student forgets the password to their CourseKey account, school administrators can provide them with a temporary password to log in.  After logging in with the temporary password the student will be prompted to personalize their password for future use.

User Management

The first step in resetting a student's password is to locate that student in Student Management.

1. Select the Students tab in the left navigation bar.

2. Locate the student's account. In the search bar you can enter the student's name, student ID number, or email address.

3. Select the student's name to view their account information.

Change Password

At the bottom of the pop-up you'll see the option to enter a new temporary password. The password must contain:

  • One lowercase letter
  • One uppercase letter
  • One number
  • At least six characters

Confirm that you've entered the correct password by entering it a second time in the additional field and select Save Changes to apply the new password.

Note:

Student's will not be automatically notified when their password is changed so it's important to notify the student of their new temporary password.
