E‑Shikshakosh Password Recovery Guide for Teachers and Staff

If you’re a teacher or school staff member in Bihar and you’ve forgotten your login password for E‑Shikshakosh, or your registered mobile number has changed — don’t worry. It happens. This guide will walk you through how to recover or reset your password, what you can do if your mobile number is wrong, and how to avoid similar issues later. I’ll keep it simple and clear — no confusing jargon.

Why You Might Need Password Recovery

Here are a few common scenarios:

You go to log in and realise you don’t remember your password.

Your registered mobile number used for OTP or password reset has changed or is inactive.

You entered the password correctly but the system still rejects it (maybe it was changed or you had a typo).

You’ve been transferred or your profile got updated and the original password no longer works.

In any of these cases, you’ll need to reset or recover your password so you can log in, mark attendance, access reports, upload documents, and more.

Step by Step How to Recover Your Password

Here’s what you should do:

Go to the E‑Shikshakosh login page

Open your browser (or the app) and navigate to the login area. You’ll usually see a link like “Forgot Password” or “Reset Password”. For example, the official portal shows “Forgot Your …” near the login form. eshikshakosh.bihar.gov.in+1

Click on “Forgot Password” or similar link

This will prompt you to start the recovery process. It may ask for your User ID (Teacher ID) and registered mobile number or email.

Enter your Teacher ID / User ID and registered mobile/email

Make sure you enter the exact Teacher ID that was assigned to you. Also, use the mobile number that’s registered in the system. If your number has changed, you’ll need to follow the “mobile number change” steps (see next section).

Receive OTP (One‑Time Password) or verification code

The system will send an OTP to your registered mobile number (or email). Use that code inside the portal to confirm your identity.

Create a new password

Once verified, you’ll be prompted to enter a new password. Choose something strong but memorable. Confirm it, then save. After this you should be able to log in again.

Log in with your new password

Use your Teacher ID + new password. If you’re able to log in, good — job done. If still not, move to troubleshooting.

What to Do if Your Registered Mobile Number is Wrong or Changed

If you changed your mobile number (or it’s not registered correctly), the password reset via OTP may fail. Here’s how to handle that:

Inform your school admin/Principal: They can access the teacher list on the portal and update your mobile number in the system (if allowed).
Submit a request or grievance via E‑Shikshakosh: Use the grievance module specifying that your registered mobile number is wrong and mention your correct number.
Ask for an alternate method: In some cases the admin may reset your password manually and give you a temporary password so you can log in and update your mobile number yourself.

Troubleshooting What If Password Recovery Doesn’t Work?

Here are issues you might still face and what you can do:

No OTP received?
Check your network. Make sure the mobile number is correct. Ask your school admin to verify your number in the portal.

Forgot Teacher ID too?
If you don’t remember your user ID, ask your Principal or district MIS to check your profile and confirm your ID.

Still can’t log in after resetting?
Clear your browser cache, try another browser or device. If you used the app, reinstall it.

Account appears locked or disabled?
Sometimes multiple failed login attempts lead to a lock. Contact your school admin or helpdesk to unlock or assist.

Tips to Prevent Future Login Issues

Keep your mobile number up‑to‑date: If you change your number, update it in the portal as soon as possible.

Use a memorable but secure password: Combine letters and numbers, avoid too obvious patterns.

Write down (securely) your Teacher ID and password somewhere safe — or use a password manager.

Do a login test regularly: Perhaps once in a month just to ensure you’re still able to access your account.

Avoid using public computers for login: If you do, log out properly and clear browser data.

Keep your email updated: If the system supports email‑based recovery, make sure that’s valid.

FAQs

Ask your school admin or district MIS to retrieve your Teacher ID. Once you have it, follow the password recovery steps above.

Yes. Inform your school admin to update your mobile number in the system, or submit a grievance via the portal indicating your new mobile number so you can receive OTPs.

Check caps‑lock, check if the new password was saved properly. Clear browser cache or try in a different browser/app. If still issue, escalate to helpdesk.

Not directly. They can help you request the reset or update your mobile number, but the OTP or verification step must still go via your registered mobile/email for security.

Usually just a few minutes once you receive the OTP and set the new password. If mobile number update is required, it might take longer depending on admin verification.

Final Words

Forgotten passwords or wrong mobile numbers can be annoying, but with the steps above you can get access to the E‑Shikshakosh portal again quickly. It’s about verifying your identity, resetting safely, and keeping your profile data current. After you’re back in, take a moment to update your contact details and ensure you’ll face fewer issues next time.
