Candidates who have forgotten their Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) profile passwords can retrieve them through the board's SMS password recovery service.

To recover your password, send an SMS containing the word PASSWORD, followed by the email address linked to your JAMB profile, to 55019 or 66019.

SMS format

PASSWORD yourregisteredemail@gmail.com

Replace the sample email address with the exact email address registered to your JAMB profile.

Important things to note

  • Send the message using the same phone number used during your JAMB registration.
  • Ensure that the email address you provide is correctly linked to your JAMB profile.
  • A network service charge may apply.
  • Keep your registered email account accessible in case further verification is required.

The SMS recovery option provides candidates with a convenient way to regain access to their existing JAMB profiles.
