What are my username and password?
The username is your BU username (portion of your BU email address before the @ symbol) and the password is your Kerberos password. This is the same username/password combination you use to access BU email, the BU Link, and SMGtools.

Can I change my password?
Yes. Go to http://www.bu.edu/computing/accounts/acsaccounts/
and select 'Change Kerberos Password.'

NOTE: In order to change the password online, you'll need to supply the current password. If you can't find your password, you must visit 111 Cummington Street with your BU photo ID for identity verification.

What if I've forgotten my password?
You'll need to create and confirm a new password: go to http://www.bu.edu/computing/accounts/acsaccounts/ and click on 'Forgotten Kerberos Password'. To confirm the new password and begin using it, visit 111 Cummington Street with your BU photo ID for identity verification.
