Reset a password
If you forget your password, a new one can be generated and emailed to you. The system does not allow the retrieval of an existing password; it must be reset. See below for how.
- Go to the login page for Open OKState Pressbooks.
- Underneath the login box, click on “Lost your password?”
- Enter your username or, if you can’t remember it, enter the email address for which the account was requested.
- Click “Get New Password.”
- You will receive an email that contains your username and a link to reset your password. If you do not receive an email within a few minutes, check the Junk or Spam folder in your email account.
- After clicking on the link, you will be redirected to the “Reset Password” page.
- You can accept the “strong” password provided by the system by clicking on “Reset Password” or clear this field and create your own.
- The system will judge the strength of your password as you enter it. The criteria for a strong password include:
- 12 characters
- upper and lower case letters
- numbers and symbols
- Once your password has been reset, you can log in.
