Every year, DMPS resets passwords for students. However, some schools opt out of the reset. So, some students will continue with their previous passwords and others will have to create a new password. On August 16, 2017, student passwords for computers, email and Infinite Campus will be reset (unless their school opted out). So, if your password isn’t working after August 16, you’ll have to create a new one. Click Headline for more info.
