How to: Change your eRaider password when you do not know your current password


Introduction

No one at Texas Tech University or from anywhere else should ask for your password.

If you already know your current password, follow the instructions to sign in to eRaider Account Manager and change your password instead.

Instructions

1) If you do not know your current password, browse to https://eraider.ttu.edu and click the Forgot Password button.

4) To verify your identity, the eRaider system will send a verification code to the contact phone number that you specified in your eRaider account. Choose Text Message to have a verification code sent in an SMS text message or Voice Call to receive the verification code in an automated voice call. Then, click Continue when you are ready for the code to be sent.
