Student Caller "I forgot my password and need to reset it, but this tool is not working"
Help Desk Guy "Are you using the tool at the student information site?"
Student Caller "Yes. It keeps asking for a password though, and I don't know what the password is"
Help Desk Guy "It should be asking for your email address, student number, ssn and date of birth"
Student Caller "Oh... is that because I'm using the tool at the class information site?"
