What is it?

What if I forget my Glow password?
Your Glow account password is yours to be responsible for and we recommend keeping it safe and secure and making sure you have a note of it. If you (or your child) forgets their Glow password you just need to ask your teacher to reset it. All teachers can change learners Glow passwords via the Glow launchpad management console. If anyone forgets their Glow password it can be reset by any member of school staff.
