Students, faculty and staff:

A.) Reset your passphrase using the self-service tool at CalNet Account Manager, mycalnet.berkeley.edu

Use the self-service CalNet Account Manager to reset your passphrase. Start by entering your recovery email address, or student or employee ID number to initiate the reset process. You can only use CalNet Account Manager if you have a recovery email address attached to your CalNet account. Here is the direct link for passphrase reset:
