# How to Reset Your Password via the Helpdesk If you don't remember the answer to your security question, or don't have access to your secondary email address, you will need to have the technology office reset your password manually. Please submit a ticket requesting a password reset through our helpdesk:

**[support.newburyport.k12.ma.us](http://support.newburyport.k12.ma.us/)** If you don't have access to your account, you can also submit a ticket by emailing: ****

After you submit a ticket, a member of the technology office will reset your password and then respond to your ticket with both your **username** and a **temporary password**. Next, go to our **Single Sign-On (SSO) portal**. You can also complete the remaining steps through the login screen on your school Chromebook:

**[newburyport-k12.okta.com](https://newburyport-k12.okta.com/)**

Enter your **username** in the '**Username**' field, and the **temporary password** in the '**Password**' field. Then click '**Sign in**'.

Enter the **temporary password** again in the '**Old Password**' field. Then, pick a new password and enter it in both '**New password**' and '**Repeat password**'. Click the '**Change Password**' button.

**If you entered everything correctly, it will log you into our SSO portal. Please remember what you chose as your new password.**

If get an error message, make sure you're using the ***temporary password*** for 'Old password' and that the two entries for your new password match.
