Forgotten your password? Returned with a new phone, laptop or tablet?

If you've been lucky enough to get a new phone, laptop or tablet over the Christmas break, don't forget to get it set up on University IT services.
After the Christmas break, you might have forgotten your password or other information to get you connected. If you have, don't be embarrassed; you aren't be the first to do it, and we're sure you won't be the last!
If you have forgotten it, you can recover your IT account and set a new password through the IT Account Manager without having to contact the Support Centre. This is likely to be a quicker way of getting you logged in and up and running again.
