Self Service Password Reset
Self Service Password Reset (SSPR) enables those with Student accounts to securely reset their University network password 24/7 without the need to contact the Digital Services IT Service Desk. SSPR registration is now mandatory so we would encourage you to register now for this enhancement to your account security.
Password Kiosks
Dedicated PCs, known as Password Kiosks, are located within the Library on each campus. Password Kiosks will allow you to:
- obtain your initial network password
- register for self-service password reset
- use self-service password reset to change your network password if forgotten
You will need your Student ID and PIN (your initial PIN is your date of birth in the format DDMMYY) to use the Password Kiosk.
When changing your password, choose a password with a minimum of 12 characters: that includes 3 out of the four categories below.
- Upper Case

- Digit
- Special Character
If you are unable to use the above methods, please contact the IT Service Desk quoting your Student ID and Ulster University email address and we can reset it to the initial password shown in your Banner record, for you to retrieve as outlined above.
