How do I reset my JAMB password?
If you are going to reset your JAMB password or any other password for a really important platform, you will be required to set a new password.
Ensure your new password contains Upper and Lower cases of the Alphabet. You should add numbers and special characters too.
Make sure you keep it somewhere safe that only you can access either written in a book or saved in a cloud.
As a candidate, you can reset your password via a registered email address, phone number, or via a jamb support agent.
To reset your jamb portal password, you “MUST” have access to the email address and mobile number you used for registering and creating your profile on the JAMB platform.
This can be obtained from your exam printout slip and the automated profile creation email/SMS from JAMB.
The Two things you need to log in to your JAMB profile are your email address and password.
Please note that the password used here is not compulsorily the same one you use in logging into your email account.

A brief about JAMB
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board was created in 1978 as an entrance exam board to facilitate admissions into Nigerian tertiary institutions such as Public and private universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
In 2013, the board transitioned from a “paper-based test model” (PBT) to a “computer-based test model” (CBT) to meet global educational standards and curtail the rising cases of examination malpractice.
This process and a transition to a portal-based system of storing information further increased computer literacy among prospective candidates.
Without a secure Jamb password, candidates are denied access to the creation of a unique individual profile and relevant jamb services such as the Central admission processing system (CAPS), JAMB notification of admission, and admission letter printing.
