MentorHaving access to your JAMB profile is very important. Especially for the fact that if you are eventually offered admission, you must log in to your JAMB profile to accept or decline the admission.
Two things you need to login to your JAMB profile are your email address and password. Please note that the password used here is not compulsorily the same one you use in logging into your email account.
In this article, you will learn how to reset your forgotten JAMB profile password.
There are three ways to recover your JAMB password, you can either retrieve it from your email, reset it from JAMB website or chat with your JAMB support.
How to Retrieve your JAMB Password from your Email

This message contains your name, date of birth and password.
To retrieve your password using this method, log in to your email address and search for “Profile Creation Details”.
