What can I do if I forgot my password or username for Barracuda?Your username and password on the Barracuda spam filtering system is always your UTPA email address (emailusername@utpa.edu) and password. If you have forgotten your UTPA email username and/or password please call the UTPA IT Helpdesk at (956) 381-2020 for prompt assistance.
Also, make sure the latest drivers for your wireless card have been installed.
Can I change my UTPA username?The only way to change your UTPA username is if your name changes due to marriage, divorce, legal name change, harassment, or if it is misspelled. If your case applies, you need first to get your personal information corrected at Human resources if you are faculty or staff, or at the Registrars Office if you are student. Once your information has been updated, you will need to stop by the IT Service Desk to request your Username change. It is not instantly changed and it may take from two weeks to three months. Make sure to take a valid Picture ID with you.
