Logging in to Vista: When you login to Pirates' VIEW Vista for the first time and/or after having your password reset, make sure that you immediately reset your password. To reset your password, click on "My Settings" at the top right hand side of the screen. 

The "My Settings" window will appear.  Click the "Change Password" button located at the bottom of the screen.  The "Change Password" window will appear.

Enter your current password and then your new password. You will need to confirm your new password by retyping the password in the "Confirm new password:" field.

Helpful Hint: WebCT Vista passwords are case sensitive.  For example, if your password is "TGIF," then typing "tgif" in the "Password" field will not work when attempting to login to Vista.

Entering a secret question and answer is not required; however, this will enable Pirates' VIEW Vista to reset your password and send you your login information should you forget your new password. To set up this feature, enter a question (i.e., In what city were you born?) in the "Secret question" field. Then enter the answer to the secret question in the "Secret answer" field. The answer that you provide in the "Secret answer" field will be used to reset your password and send you your new login information. New login information will be sent to your AASU Pirates' Cove email account. This information cannot be sent to outside personal email accounts such as hotmail and/or yahoo accounts.

Should you forget your password in the future, click the "Forgot Your Password?" link located below the "Username" and "Password" fields. You will then be prompted to enter your AASU Pirates' Cove email address. Enter your student and/or faculty email address (other email accounts will not work) and click "OK." Your secret question will appear on the next screen. Enter the answer in the field provided and click "OK." Your new login information will be sent to your AASU Pirates' Cove email account (this could take a few minutes). After logging into Pirates' VIEW Vista with your new password, make sure that you immediately reset your password and secret question and answer.
