Changing your password
Please read the advice in our notes on strong passwords before changing your password.
You will need to enter:
- your username
- your current password
- a new password (see our notes on strong passwords for help in choosing a password)
- the same password a second time (to ensure that you have not made any mistakes when typing your password)
Some symbols such as ':' '|' and '@' will limit your ability to use certain resources, for example:
- eVision sometimes has problems with passwords containing ':' and '|'
- some Oracle forms will not work if you have the '@' symbol in your password
When will the change take effect?
- For logging in to the classroom machines the change will take effect immediately
- For accessing password-protected University web pages and services which use single sign-on (SSO) the change will take effect immediately
- For logging in to Unix systems there will be a delay of at least 30 minutes before the change takes effect
