The research cluster relies on the Tufts Directory for authentication. It is possible that your account has expired. If so you won't be able to log in until that is resolved. You should contact the Faculty owner/manager of the project you're involved in and ask to have your Tufts UTLN Username made eligible again. Once your account is made eligible again then your account on the cluster should be automatically activated again within 24 hours.

NOTE: Generally speaking, the cluster uses your Tufts UTLN Username and password pair. The cluster doesn't expire passwords. When that happens it is due to the Tufts system that supports UTLNs usernames and passwords. If you use a non Tufts email system or you don't login to the Tufts Windows Domain, it is likely that when your Tufts password expires, you will not know because you were not notified. Consider setting a Tufts forwarding email address. This will allow you to receive notification so that you may reset your password.
