How to Retrieve your JAMB Password from your Email
When you created your JAMB profile either at a CBT centre or by yourself, a message was sent to your email address containing your profile creation details.
This message contains your name, date of birth and password.
To retrieve your password using this method, log in to your email address and search for “Profile Creation Details”.
If you have different emails and you are not sure of the one you used to register with JAMB, you have to try this process on all your email addresses.
The search result should look like the image below especially if you use Gmail;
Open the email and scroll down to see your password.
