I have asked for a password reset, what do I do next?
When you ask for a password reset, we will get contact you to let your know what your new password is.
Once you log in for the first time with this new password, you will be prompted to create a strong new password. This strong new password cannot be a password that you have used before or the same password that you were provided by the College when you asked for a reset.
The password must:
include at least one capital letter, at least one lower case letter and at least one number
be at least 10 characters long
Your password should not be something easy to guess such as the name of the college, a pet or your child.
Please, remember the new password as you will need it every time you log in. You could write it down somewhere safely such as in the back of your diary or in a note on your phone. You should make sure that is not obvious what it is for!

If you use Google Chrome, you can have different profiles in your browser. This can be for different family members, if your device is shared, or for different Gmail accounts for work or personal use.
To set a new profile, click on the circle located to the right hand side of the address bar.
Click on the circle and then click on +add
Give your new profile a name of your choice and choose a picture to help you distinguish between your different profiles.
Once created, a new browser window will open with a different picture on it. The picture will be the one you chose in the previous stage or the picture that you have uploaded to your Google Account .
In this new browser window, you will need to log into your leicesterlearns account again. This will now separate your private account from your student account (leicesterlearns).
