Start by Looking for Your Account

We were able to bring most of the reporter accounts from the old ALEX system to ALEX2, so you will start by checking to see if ALEX2 already has your account.

Go to the ALEX login page and click the Forgot Username or Password link.

On the following page, enter your email address and click Reset Password.

Click on the name, and ALEX2 will move to the next page where you create a user name for your ALEX2 account. Enter the user name you want to use, and click Create Username.

Create a Username

After you click Create Username, ALEX2 will do two things: present a page where you will enter a password reset code, and send an email to your address that contains the password reset code.

The email you receive will contain three key pieces of information: the username you created, a link to reset your password, and the password reset code.

In the email you can either click on the Password Link or copy the Password Code and paste it into the Enter password reset code screen shown above. If you copy and paste the code, click Check Code.
