Contacting the Service Desk to change your password
To keep your account secure the Service Desk team cannot change your password via requests received by email or via assist.tcd.ie.
The team can reset your password, once you know your original password, via a phone call to the Service Desk on (01) 8962000. If you do not know your original password you will need to call to the Service Desk in person with your Trinity student ID card.
