Hello, 

I've encountered the same problem. It will not accept my information and when I request a password reset, it tells me that my username does not exist.  

My email is frescasv@elpasotexas.gov. My username for the portal is frescasv. 

I've left email and left a voice mail as well to request assistance. 

Thank you,
