Domain Passwords

What is a domain password? A domain password allows a user access to different domains (i.e. a server that handles email for the school). To learn more about user passwords, you can click on: the Start menu of your PC, the Help menu, and finally on Passwords and User Accounts.

My Domain Password Does Not Work

A domain user is given access to different servers and his/her email account while on and off campus.  If one were to forget the domain password/logon, then he or she should contact the Help Desk to have a password created.

Why recreate it? As part of our security measures, the end user is the only one to know his/her password.  So if he or she forgets it, the only remedy is to create a new one.

I Would Like to Change My Domain Password

Method 1 for Windows 2000 and XP

To change your domain password, the easiest way to do so is to start the computer, log on, and when you see the desktop hit the following key strokes: ctrl-alt-delete.

A box will appear, giving you six choices and one of these is to change your password.  Seems easy, but you need your old password in order to create a new one; hence the reason for contacting the people above.

Method 2 for Windows 98

Once logged on, go to the Star menu, click on the control panel, and then click on user accounts.  Look for your user logon and click on it; and then hit the following key strokes: ctrl-alt-delete.
