As Reading Week approaches, here is a timely reminder to change your network password. You use your network password to log onto ITB PCs, to access Moodle, to access email, to print / photocopy etc.
Network passwords must be changed every 100 days. So change it now to ensure you can log in over Reading Week.
You can change your password as follows:
(1) Before it expires: change your password at any ITB PC. Press CTRL-ALT-DELETE and select the option to change your password
(2) Before or after it expires: bring your student card to SID (9.15am - 5pm, Tu-F) or the Library Desk (5pm - 6pm, Tu-Th)
(3) After it expires: sign up for password recovery before your password expires. Then you can recover your password from off-campus should it ever expire. You can register here and recover your password here.
(4) After it expires: there us a SMS Password Recovery service available to students who cannot come to campus. Call 1518 415090 and follow the directions. There is a €3.00 charge for this service; the charge will be added to your telephone bill/taken from your phone credit
Remember, the best option is to change your password, at an ITB PC, before it expires. But always have a backup plan, i.e. sign up for password recovery before you need it!
