Update Passwords

Administrators can reset passwords at any time. When an administrator resets a password, the user can sign in using the generated temporary password. On a networked computer, you can navigate to the user profile menu in the upper-right corner to change your password. You can reset your own password when you receive the password expiration notification.

Administrators can edit how frequently passwords expire, the number of allowed sign-in attempts, and the time until automatic sign out. When a password has expired, users receive a prompt to set a new password during sign in.
