Click the "Send Reset Password Link" button to send an e-mail to the student's account associated with their EditMentor account. This e-mail will send the student a new reset password link. When students click the link within the e-mail, EditMentor will prompt them to reset their password.

This button will be greyed out if a student uses only a username to log into their account.

If both "Reset Password Link buttons are greyed out, the student has set up their EditMentor account through a Google account. If so, have the student try logging in with the "Log In With Google" button instead.

You might not receive a reset password e-mail if you setup you account through Google.

Change Password from Log In Screen

If students use their e-mail address to log into EditMentor, they can also change their password from the EditMentor home page. Please direct them to click the Forgot Password link at the bottom of the screen.
