2. Click on the 'I need my username or password' link.
3. Enter either your social security number or your Banner ID number (e.g. B00123456), and hit 'Next'.
4. When you click 'Next' on the new page displayed, an email will be sent to your personal non-Mills email account. If you only have Mills listed you will need to contact the M Center to have your personal email address added.
5. Use the Web browser to access your personal email. Open the email from Mills College. Click on the link provided to set your password. Please note that the link will only be valid for 48 hours.

Please note that if you do not see the email from Mills College, first check your spam folder. If the email is not there, please contact the M Center to verify that Mills College has your correct personal email address.
