How to Change Your Password and Edit
Personal Information in Blackboard
Passwords are case sensitive, so pay attention to your Caps Lock
when typing in a password!
Passwords are not stored anywhere. If you forget your password,
contact the Blackboard
Administrator to reset your password, or use the “Forgot
your password?” link on the Blackboard login page to request
assistance. Using this link, you will be prompted to fill out a
form that upon submission will generate an email to the address
listed for you in the Blackboard system. HCC credit students’
default address is their HCC student email address – if you
have specific questions about this email service, please contact
the SMX Administrator.
The First Name and Last Name fields in this
form are case sensitive. The default format for
these areas is title case. For example, if she
had not made a change to these fields, Janice
Jones would type Janice Jones, not JANICE JONES
or janice jones into these areas.
