To reset your Sycamore Login (for Portal, Blackboard, and Sycamores Email), password please visit https://isuportal.indstate.edu/password/ResetPassword and select the "Forgot/Change Your Password?" under the login box, and then follow the prompts.

The following is the minimum standards that passwords must meet:

Password minimum length is 8 characters (maximum of 29 characters)
Password must contain at least one numeric character
Password must contain at least one uppercase character
Password must contain at least one lowercase character

<Space> # ~ ^ * ? , : ; | " [ ] { } @$& () <>' =

If you have questions regarding the minimum password requirement, please contact the Help Desk at 237-2910.
