UTAD account passwords expire every six months. Once a password expires, users are unable to log into Blackboard, MyUT, or UT email. When the password expires, it must be reset using the UTAD account management. You will need to know the answer to your security question to reset your password online. If you forget the answer to your security question, or are otherwise unable to reset your password online, you will need to contact the IT helpdesk at 419-530-2400 for assistance.
