At MUCE, our systems employ varying procedures for resetting forgotten passwords. Specifically:

  • For systems like e-office or GMS, password resets necessitate the intervention of a system administrator to perform on your behalf.
  • Conversely, systems like ARIS and TANEPS empower individual users to reset their own passwords.

The ICT Unit strongly encourages all staff and students to create passwords that strike a balance between security and ease of memorization.
