First you will have to change your password, this can only be done via password.ugent.be. If you don't know your current password you can request a reset via password.ugent.be/reset

Once you have changed your password you will need to give us a call (+329 264 47 47). We will give you more info on the situation and after that we will unlock your account.

Remark: A lock by entering the wrong password too many times will clear itself after a certain time.
