Changing your password

Steps

  1. Sign into your computer and press CTRL + Alt + Delete
  2. Click on Change a password
  3. Enter your old password. Then enter a new password twice to confirm it.
  4. The password must meet Window's minimum complexity requirements. These requirements state that the password:
    1. may not contain any part of the user's account name;
    2. must be at least 10 characters long;
    3. must contain a combination of any three below:
      1. uppercase character (A through Z);
      2. lowercase character (a through z);
      3. numerical character (0 through 9);
      4. symbol character (e.g. !,@,#,$).


Note: This will change the password that you use to sign into Windows, as well as your Office 365 password. If you are prompted to re-enter your password in any Office software on your computer (e.g. Outlook, Skype for Business), use the new password you just created.
