Resetting Lyris Passwords

E-lists at Cornell

Resetting Your Administrator Password (Lyris)

If you lose, forget, or otherwise want to change the password you use to manage a Lyris-based e-list, it's easy to do, but it requires some back and forth communication with CIT's e-list servers and has time limits for security reasons, so don't start the process unless you'll have access to the web and your e-mail for the next half hour.

Here's what you do:

Stay Secure!

In the steps described below, you'll be typing your new password into a web page. We're using a secure server, so everything should work as advertised, but the web is a dangerous place, so here are a couple of things you can do:

Make sure the URL (web address) listed in your browsers address box points to an address at

www.list.cornell.edu

in both steps 2 and 4 below

Make your Lyris password a strong password. DON'T use your NetID password

A web page with a Lyris header will open. Type in your e-mail address (the one you always use with Lyris) and click Submit.
Soon (maybe a few seconds, maybe a few minutes) you'll receive an e-mail message from Lyris ListManager containing a clickable (or cut-and-pastable) link. This link is unique to your request and will expire after one hour. If you miss the deadline, don't worry. Just start over at step one.
When you click on the link in the e-mail message, another web page will open, asking you to type in your new password twice, and reminding you that the password you enter will replace your password on ALL Cornell e-lists you administer. All of them. Type in your new password twice and click Reset Password. That's it.
