    From CentralPipeline

  1. Go to https://accounts.ccsu.edu

  2. Enter in your 8-digit ID number (the 8-digit number grouping found on your Blue Chip Card), the last 4 digits of your social security number, and your date of birth, then click Submit.

  3. Click on the Password Reset link and then set your new password.

  4. From a campus PC

    When you log in to a campus PC, you will be prompted to change your password 14 days prior to expiration. To reset your password, click on the Yes to the Reset Password prompt and the Password Reset window will appear.

    Another way to do this is to hit CTRL + ALT + DEL and go to change password. You will then be asked to type your old password, put in your new password and confirm your new password.

CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD REGULARLY

Passwords expire every 60 days.  Fourteen days prior to expiration, you will be prompted to change your password in CentralPipeline or on your campus computer.  DO NOT PUT THIS OFF. Change it as soon as you are prompted.

ALWAYS MAKE YOUR PASSWORD LONG

Your password must have at least one uppercase, one lowercase, and one numeric character and must be at least 7 characters long.  Birthdays, Social Security numbers, phone numbers, and names of children or pets are all poor choices. A word of caution, do not make the password too long as you may forget it.
