If you don't remember your password for your email address, you will need to click on this link to create a ticket to reset your password.

2. Type your school email address (be sure to type the @dcsms.org).
3. Type your first and last name.

***Once you create a ticket, your password DOES NOT automatically reset. Our technology team will get to your ticket as it shows up in the system. Due to the high volume of help tickets it may take up to 24 hours for you to receive the reset text. Once they send you the reset text then you will be able to go to your school email account and reset the password. You will to set a new password for your school email in the web browser BEFORE you try to log in to any Microsoft app.***
