How can I find out what my password is and how can I change it?
During registration you will be issued with a randomly generated password. You are required to provide an answer to a security question and reset your password to a password of your choice.
Follow these steps for resetting your password:
- Visit password.beds.ac.uk
- Enter your student number and password. Your initial password, by default, will be Bedfordshire followed by your date of birth - so for example BedfordshireDDMMYYY (i.e. 1 Jan 1998 = 01011998).
- Click Setup Security Question and set your security question. This is mandatory and you will need it should you require further password resets.
- Once you have set your security question, click Change Password and set your new password.
Note: It is a requirement that you reset your password within 24 hours of issue. Your temporary password will expire if it is not changed before the 24 hour deadline.
