Changing / resetting your password

Once you've added recovery information to the https://password.lesley.edu site, you can easily change or reset your password. If you haven't entered any recovery information, you can email it@lesley.edu or call 617-349-8770 to get help. Note: The system will not let you enter an international number as the recovery mobile information, so you will only be able to enter a personal recovery email.

What is the difference between changing and resetting your password?  Changing your password is when you know your current active password but want to change it. Resetting your password is when you have forgotten your password, or it has expired after the 180 days between password changes.
