Steps to Change Your Password

Before you begin, gather all devices you use to access your PCC email such as your smartphone, tablet, and laptops. You will need to update all devices at the same time.

1. If you have NOT set up security questions in LancerPoint, then your first step is to set up security questions. If you have, please proceed to step 2.

  • Go to https://reset.pasadena.edu/ 
  • Select the 3rd item, "Set up or change my security questions"
  • Follow directions provided to set up your questions

2. Go to https://reset.pasadena.edu/

3. Select the 4th item, "Reset my password"

4. Follow the directions provided to change your password

5. If you have PCC email on your smartphone or tablet, please remember to update the device to use your new password. The best approach is to remove the email account completely before you cahnge your password and then add it back in with the new password. Simply updating your password can be problematic.
