Password - Self Service

The Information Technology Services Division (ITSD) has implemented a new, secure, web-based self-service password management tool that allows you to change your UMass Boston password -- and if you create a profile, you can reset your password even if you have forgotten what it was!

Follow a few easy steps to set up your profile and you’re on your way to a more safe and secure UMass Boston experience. To access the site, visit https://spmt.umb.edu/
