Password Management for Blackboard

UTHSC Password Management for Blackboard

Changing your Blackboard Password

REMEMBER: Changing your NetID password does NOT automatically change your Bb password, or vice versa.

  1. Log on to Blackboard.
  2. Click the Personal Information link under the Tools section on the left side of the page and choose Change Password. (If you are already in a Blackboard course, click the Tools button on the course menu and choose the Personal Information link and then Change Password.)
  3. Provide a password of your choice twice and then click Submit.
  4. Log out and log back in with the new password to test it.

Resetting your Blackboard Password

  1. Go to the “Forgot your password?” page.
  2. Fill out either section 1 or section 2 and click Submit. Do not do both. Please note the first name and last name fields are case-sensitive. You MUST type them in with the first letter of each name UPPERCASED and all other letters lowercased in order for Blackboard to recognize your account. Ex. Barry Rose.
  3. An email will be sent to the address that is associated with your Blackboard account. In the email click the link to go to the password reset page.
  4. On the password reset page provide a password twice and click Submit.
  5. Go back to courses.utmem.edu and log in.
  6. Please send a help request to bb@utmem.edu if this procedure does not work.
