    1. Go to https://passwords.eckerd.edu/react/. This is the only means of changing your password. DO NOT utilize any ‘Forgot Password’ prompt on other servers. 

    2. Enter your ReACT ID (which is in fact your myEckerd Username). 

    3. Select Authenticate using Active Directory, then input your current password. 

      1. If you do not remember your old password, or it has expired, then authenticate using SMS or an email PIN, or by answering Challenge Questions. 

      2. If you have never changed your password, and your myEckerd account is new: you will only be able to authenticate using the Active Directory option.

        1. You will be prompted to set up authentication methods, such as: email, SMS, TOTP, or Challenge Questions.

    4. Choose a new password. Ensure your entry is completely unique from the past entries.

    5. Click Reset

    6. Ensure Active Directory AND Eckerd G Suite accept your new password. If they do, they will appear green and its status will say “successful.” If your entry was rejected, it will appear red and you must return to the previous page to choose a different password. 

    Click Finish

* Accounts created before July 2018 have been loaded with challenge questions, and we periodically ask users to update their challenge questions and cell phone (SMS) information using the Update Profile tool. If none of these methods work for you, please call ITS at 727-864-8318 and let the helpdesk know that you are unable to reset your own password.

If you are unable to use the forgot password page, please call 727-864-8318 and request a manual password change.
