Due to the banner upgrade this weekend, those of you who use backdoor passwords at http://edison.blackboard.com to login to CE6, may have found that those passwords no longer work.
Secret Question Set up?
During our last password reset, many of you have established a secret question that will allow you to reset your password from the http://edison.blackboard.com login page. If you believe you have done so or are not sure, please use this tutorial to retrieve your password:

If you have not established a secret question (or it does not work when attempting to use it), you will need to do so by following the directions below:
To help solve this issue in a timely, orderly manner, and to give you the ability to reset should a future issue occur, we are taking the following steps:
- If you cannot login to CE6 via backdoor access, please reply to this e-mail stating that your CE6 Password is not working. You can and will continue to be able to access CE6 via the myEdison Portal > Faculty Academics Tab. Keep in mind, if you are working on a development shell, you can access it from the Portal: After going to your course, click “My CE6 Home” from the upper right side of the blue banner to return to your course list.
I will reset the passwords upon your notification and e-mail you with a temporary password.
- After you have the temporary password from me, please change your password using the tutorial linked below. Follow all steps, including setting your secret question. A secret question is a question that you will be asked, should you ever need to reset your password using the automatic system password reset. Obviously, the question should be something that only you can answer. Do not forget to enter the answer and keep if for future reference! Here is the tutorial:
