How Do I Reset My RISD Account Password

RISD has a "self-service" password service: password.risd.edu. RISD account passwords expire every 6 months. You will receive three warning notifications (10, 5, and 1 day) before your password expires.

Reset Password

Visit password.risd.edu
Enter your username (omit @risd.edu), type the captcha, and click Continue.
Select a two-factor authentication (2FA) method (e.g., Email*, SMS, etc.) and click Continue.
*Note: If you selected Email as your 2FA and you did not receive the email with the secure link, check your SPAM and trash folders.
Follow prompts to verify your identity.
Enter a new password and confirm.
Click "Reset Password".

You should receive a green message stating the password reset was successful.

Contact the RISD IT Service Desk Monday - Friday (8 am - 5 pm) EST by phone (401) 454-6106 or by email: servicedesk@risd.edu.
