Did you know that students and staff can reset their passwords without assistance from the Department of Technology or the school’s Technology Support Technician
Yep, students and staff can reset their passwords on their own in just 2 easy steps:
- Set up your password recovery and reset option in ClassLink. You must be setup prior to a password expiring or an account being locked out.
- Reset your password
Password Requirements
- Minimum password length has changed to 12 characters.
- Common words are not allowed. For example: mascots, school name, seasons, etc.

- One of these special characters ([email protected]#$%^&*_-+=`|\(){}[]:;”‘<>,.?/)
- Passwords must not contain part of the account name or display name
- Password can be changed only once every two days
Must have password recovery and reset options set before you can reset password.
Resetting Password
- At the login screen of the ClassLink LaunchPad (https://launchpad.classlink.com/vbschools), select “Help, I forgot my password”. This can be done from any device that has a internet connection.
