How to Reset Your Password on the All India Sainik Schools Admission Counselling (AISSAC) Portal

If you have forgotten your password for the AISSAC 2026 admission portal, follow this detailed step-by-step guide to securely reset it and regain access to your counselling account.

Step-by-Step Password Reset Process

Step 1: Access the Forgot Password Page

  1. Go to the official All India Sainik Schools Admission Counselling (AISSAC) 2026 portal.
  2. On the homepage, click on the “Sign In” link in the top navigation bar.
  3. On the Sign In/Login page, look for and click on the “Forgot Password” link. This will take you to the dedicated password recovery page.

Step 2: Enter Your Username
On the “Forgot Password” page, you will see a multi-step form.

  • In the first section, locate the field labeled “Username”.
  • Enter the Username you used to register for the AISSAC counselling.
  • The system will validate the username as you type (onchange="validateUserId();").
  • Click the “Send OTP” button to proceed.

Step 3: Verify Your Identity with OTP
After clicking “Send OTP”:

  1. The system will display the Email Address and Mobile No. associated with your account (masked for privacy). This confirms where the OTP will be sent.
  2. Check your registered email inbox and mobile phone for a One-Time Password (OTP).
  3. Enter the received OTP in the “Enter OTP” field.
  4. Click the “Verify OTP” button. The system will validate the OTP (onclick="return verifyotp();").

Step 4: Create a New Password
Upon successful OTP verification, you will be able to set a new password.

  • Password: Enter your new, strong password in the “Password” field. The system will validate its strength (onchange="validatePassword()").
  • Confirm Password: Re-enter the exact same new password in the “Confirm Password” field. The system will check if both entries match (oninput="checkpwdRetype()").
  • Important: Passwords cannot contain spaces (onkeydown="spaceNotAllowed('password');").

Step 5: Finalize the Reset

  1. Review all the information.
  2. Click the “Submit” or similar final confirmation button (the exact label is implied by functions like confirm_reset() in the code). This will save your new password.
  3. You will receive a confirmation that your password has been successfully reset.

Step 6: Log In with New Credentials

  1. Click the “Back” link (which points to login) or navigate manually to the Sign In page.
  2. Log in using your Username and your new password.

Important Notes & Troubleshooting

  • Prerequisite: You must know your exact Username. This process cannot be initiated with an email or phone number alone.
  • OTP Not Received?
    • Check Spam/Junk Folders: Look in your email’s spam folder.
    • Correct Number/Email: Ensure the contact details displayed on the screen are correct and accessible.
    • Wait 2-5 Minutes: OTP delivery can sometimes be delayed.
    • Resend OTP: You may need to go back and click “Send OTP” again.
  • Password Rules: Create a strong password as per the portal’s guidelines (likely a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters). Avoid using spaces.
  • Clear Data: If you need to start over, the form has a “Clear” button that will erase all entered data after a confirmation prompt.
  • Help & Guidelines: For comprehensive instructions, always refer to the “Guidelines SOP and FAQs” section (GuidelineSop) on the main portal.
