When Your Aggie Access Login Encounters a Snag
⚠️ Forgot Your OneID Password
Cause: Inability to recall your OneID password.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. The fastest way to regain access is by using the Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) portal. Visit forgotoneid.ncat.edu or changeoneid.ncat.edu to initiate the process. Ensure your OneID is registered at registeroneid.ncat.edu and you have at least two Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) methods set up for a smooth reset.
⚠️ Account Lockout
Cause: Multiple failed login attempts or unusual activity.
Solution: If your OneID account is locked, you can often unlock it through the same Self-Service Portal used for password resets. If self-service doesn't work, contact the IT Service Desk immediately for assistance. They can verify your identity and restore access promptly.
⚠️ Technical Difficulties or Persistent Login Issues
Cause: System errors, browser incompatibilities, or other unforeseen technical problems.
Solution: For any technical issues beyond password resets, including trouble logging in after following initial steps, contact the IT Service Desk. Document any error messages you receive and have your Banner ID and email address ready to expedite support.
