      • If you cannot retrieve your PIN online, call 518-442-3700 or visit the ITS Help Desk in Lecture Center 27 on the uptown campus.
    • AlbanyID
      • Students are issued their AlbanyID by the Admissions or Registrar's office, and it may be listed on correspondence you received from the University.
      • Employees obtain their AlbanyID from Human Resources Department and their SSN is entered as part of their University hiring record.
  • Next, set the security questions and create a complex password for your account. 
  • When you successfully complete the steps, a confirmation message will display your NetID and the systems to which you are granted access.  Memorize your NetID as it is your username and will never change.
Note
  • If the confirmation message states the password was set/reset for MyUAlbany and UNIX systems but was NOT set/reset for UAlbany Mail, you will only have access to MyUAlbany and not to
    your
    the University email service.  Your email account may still be processing.
     
    Wait another four hours and then complete a password set/reset process again.  The confirmation message should then include the statement that the password was set/reset for UAlbany Mail.
  • If the confirmation message states there is an error with the NetID and does not mention the password being set/reset for any system, your account has not processed.  You should wait until after 1pm on the next business day to complete the UAlbany Password Set/Reset. If you are then unable to successfully complete the process, call the ITS Help Desk at 518-442-3700.
