How to reset passwords

If you already have a password but want to change it, follow these instructions.

If you have forgotten your password or it has expired, you can reset it via our self-service portal at metacenter.no.
To reset a password it is necessary to have a valid mobile phone number connected to your user account.

If you are unable to receive SMS, we can send one with a registered letter through the postal service. Please contact us via contact@sigma2.no in such case.

Password changes are not instant

Please note that you have to wait ~15 minutes until your new password is synchronized to the resource before trying to log in.
This applies to all HPC systems and the storage facility.
