How to change password remotely
While we work from home many of us will be using a VPN to access drives on their laptops remotely. If you let your Windows password expire, this can create problems with your VPN. A new password will allow you to work without any problems for 90 days before it expires.
To change your password while working remotely, follow these five steps:
1. Start your laptop and log in with VPN. Confirm that you are connected.
2. Press ctrl+alt+del on your keyboard.
3. Select ‘change a password’ and type your new password.
4. Press the Windows key+L to lock your laptop (or ctrl+alt+del and select ‘lock’).
5. Unlock your laptop with your new password.
If you have any problems with changing your password, please let the ICT Support know!
