Changing Your Password

There are two easy ways to change the password. The best is on one of the school computers. The second is through the Outlook Web Mail.

Password Policy: We encourage all staff to select a password consisting of 8+ characters and a mix of letters and numbers. Having numbers inserted in the middle of the password is more secure than placing it at the beginning or end. Using special characters (!@#$%^&*) also makes a password more secure.

Online

  1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/, signing in with the username and current password for the account you want to update.
  2. From the navigation header, select Security and because you’re accessing sensitive info, you’ll need to enter the password for this account again.
  3. From the Password security tile, select Change my password.
  4. On the Change your password page, enter your current password and then enter your new password.
  5. Select Save.

On the computer

1) Login to a school computer using the username and default password provided

2) Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete

3) Select “Change a Password”
Password - Changing from WIndows 7 - 1
