Forgot Your Username or Password?
We have several password protected databases, including Bloomberg, LexisNexis, and Westlaw.  Our vendors want to help you work out password issues, or any other issues you may have with their service.

If you have lost your username and password, first try the “Forgot My Password” functionality first.  If you still have trouble, call them.  They really want to talk to you about this as you have the answers to your security questions.
