How to Change a Password in Blackboard

Many distance learning classes use the Blackboard learning system to get class information, assignments and grades to online students. Online students will receive a unique login name and password from their school before a new semester begins. If your assigned password is difficult to remember, you can change it the first time you log in to your Blackboard account.

Difficulty: Easy

Things You'll Need:
