How do I reset my password?

  1. At the login page, click on the 'Reset Password' button.
  2. Enter your email address and click on "I'm not a robot" reCaptcha. You may be required to solve some puzzles to prove that you are not a robot. I know, it is quite silly. But it is either reCaptcha or your password may get reset by some nefarious folks.
  3. Check your inbox or spam folder for the Reset link.
  4. At the reset password page, enter a new set of password. Your password should be at least 10 characters and include lower, upper case characters and numbers. (Upper case characters are equivalent to Capital letters). (Again, the reason for having these password requirements is so that your passwords cannot be easily guessed or compromised through a bruteforce attack. We would not want that to happen would we?)

  5. After successfully resetting your password, you can proceed to login to Alaya with your new password. Phew :)
