Please note: You should not reset your network password while using a PC, laptop, or other device connected to IUP’s wireless network.
- Before beginning, be sure to disconnect all PCs, laptops, and mobile devices from IUP’s wireless network. If you reset your network password while you still have a connection to the wireless network, you will lock out your network account, preventing access to all network resources, including:
- the wired and wireless networks
- the project directory (aka P drive)
- your home directory (aka H drive)
- the instructor’s drive (aka I drive)
- Moodle
- the Virtual Private Connection (VPN)
- After disconnecting all network devices, delete the your old network password (also referred to as cached credentials) from the device. See Delete your Saved Password from your IUP Wireless Network Setup for instructions.
- Open a web browser and go to the IUP Network Password Change page.
- Enter your username.
- Enter your current network password.
- Enter the new password.
- Enter the new password again to verify it.
- Click Change.
- If the password change was successful, you will see a message indicating that it was completed successfully. If the password change was not successful, return to the IUP Network Password Change page and review the directions to be sure that you are using a password that meets the network password requirements, then try again.
- You can reconnect your wireless devices and enter the new network password when prompted.
