If you need assistance, have not yet created your self-help questions and answers, or would like us to set a temporary password, please call the IT Service Desk at (334) 844-4944. The IT Service Desk will ask you a few questions to verify your identity, then set a temporary password, allowing you to log in to MyAccount and set a permanent password of your choice.  If you cannot verify your identity, we ask that you visit our office on the 3rd floor of the RBD Library with a photo ID, or join the IT Service Desk Zoom Room with your photo ID.
