• If  your  username  and  password  are  not  accepted,  first  make  sure  that  
they  work  in  the  TACC   User  Portal:  
https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu
• If  they  work  in  the  Portal,  but  not  on  the  cluster,  AND   you  have  received  
confirmation  that  you  were  added  to  a  project  /  allocation,  then  reset  
your  password  and  try  again  in  30  minutes:
https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/password-­reset
• If,  after  resetting  your  password  and  trying  again,  you  still  are  unable  to  
log  in  to  the  cluster,  then  submit  a  ticket  to  the  TACC  help  desk  
describing  the  problem:
