Password Procedures

First Login

When your CAMPS access is established, your password will be set to your Logon ID (ex. CSCSMIT). The first time you login, the following screen will display, and you will be forced to change this password.

  • In the CURRENT PASSWORD field, re-type your current password.
  • In the NEW PASSWORD field, type your new password. Remember that the password must be between 5-7 characters, and is case-sensitive.
  • In the CONFIRM PASSWORD field, re-type your new password.
  • Click SUBMIT.

The Welcome to CAMPS screen will display, and a message "Password has been successfully changed" will confirm that your password has been changed.

General Password Guidelines

If you forget your password, you have two options:

  1. Contact the ISR at your own jurisdiction.  They can look up or reset your current password.

  2. Type your logon id, and then click the “Forgot your Password?” link at the bottom of the login screen.  Your password will be sent to the e-mail address listed in your CAMPS profile.

Between 10-60 Days
