The process you currently use to change your USNH account password is going away. On Saturday, October 16, 2021, beginning at 7:00 a.m. EST, Enterprise Technology & Services will implement a new password tool called “MyAccount.” The existing password tools will be retired at this time and replaced with the new MyAccount tool for managing your USNH user account and password.

Note: During the transition on October 16, 2021, users will be unable to change their password, recover a forgotten password, or claim a new account. Please plan accordingly.
