Managing Your MCECS Accounts

Changing your MCECS Password

Your MCECS password can be changed by logging into the MCECS intranet:

https://intranet.cecs.pdx.edu/password/

You may need to first login to the intranet using your current MCECS password, and then provide the current password again in the change password form. Your new password should be reasonably complex; the complexity requirements can be accessed from the change password form.

Changing your MCECS password will not affect your ODIN account.

Resetting your MCECS Password

Resetting your MCECS password online using CRAM

This method is useful if you have forgotten your MCECS password but have an active Odin account.

You can visit the following Intranet link to CRAM, use your Odin Login to authenticate, and then request a reset of your MCECS account password. It can take about 15 minutes for the reset to become active.

Read the following guide for more information about how to use CRAM:

Get a password reset by visiting the CAT front desk in person

Coming to the front desk will require you to bring a form of photo identification (your PSU ID Access Badge will do) and must be done during normal desk hours.

Password resets can take up to 15 minutes to process, during which time you will not be able to login to any service or machine using your MCECS account. Once you are able to login, we recommend changing your password at your next convenience.
