CSIS windows user accounts password change

confusedInUL

how does one change their windows login password in CSIS building, Ive tried through user accounts settings, but I need administrator privilege,
Ive asked one of the sys admins to do it, but he's being rude, unhelpful, condescending & wont, and says if some of us dont change our pw's by next weekend, he'll close the accounts, as they are currently crackable, fair enough, but what an unhelpful grumpy sod, wont even tell me how, just to go find out off someone else......like it was a big secret, .... grrr :mad:



thanks

In the login screen on the PC there should be a button that says "Change Password" or something along those lines. This'll do the trick!

The password on most windows machines can be changed by hitting Ctrl + Alt + Delete, and then selecting the option "Change Password". Works for any of the machines I have used before...

But then CSIS do computers different to the rest of the college, so maybe not!

In Windows...Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Change Password should be eoungh.

In Linux try yppasswd from the CLI, that will change your password in a NIS database.

This works too. I got an email at the start of the year with this link telling me to change my password because it was about to expire.

That's only for the campus password.
The CSIS building have their own network with their own passwords.

Clicking on "Change Password" in the CTRL + ALT + DEL page will do the trick for you as long as you're on a PC in the CSIS building.
