FAQ
How do I reset my PIN/Password
- By default, your PIN/Password is the last 4 digits of the phone number that is on file with your Library card.
- If you are unable to log in to your library account using the last 4 digits of your phone number, you can reset your PIN/Password via email. Please note: you must have a current email address saved in your library account to use this feature.
- If you do not have a current email address or phone number saved to your Library account, please visit or call your local ASCPL location to reset your PIN/Password. In order to reset your PIN over the phone, you will be asked to confirm two pieces of information confirming your identity, including your Library card number, date of birth, phone number, or email address.
