PIN Code for Account Activation

Staff Members

Staff members require a PIN code for the initial activation of their BOKU account. Normally this PIN code is issued by the respective IT person at the organizational unit.

You can also have the PIN code sent to a (private) email address, print it or activate the account together with the respective IT person.

Forgotten Password

If you have forgotten the password for your BOKU account, you can obtain a PIN code from the BOKU IT Hotline after presenting your personal ID, which you can use to log in. For employees, the "EDV-Verantwortlicher" can also issue a new PIN code. For more details, see

• Forgot your password

Examination Management

Only for staff members with the function "Examination Management" ("Prüfungsmanagement")!

If you have the function "Examination Management" ("Prüfungsmanagement"), this means that you have the right to edit examinations for your entire organizational unit (and not only your own). In this case, you need a four-digit PIN code to access the application "Examination Management" ("Prüfungsmanagement").

This PIN code is automatically assigned upon first access of the application. It is shown in a popup window. In case you have forgotten your PIN code, please contact BOKU-IT hotline.

The personal PIN code can be changed within the application under the section "Settings" - "Change PIN Code" ("Einstellungen" - "PIN-CODE ändern").
