How Do I Change My Password?

From the ITD Login Service

1. Connect to the host login.itd.umich.edu using your communications program.
2. At the "login:" prompt, enter the word password rather than your uniqname.
3. Read the text for choosing a good password. (To continue scrolling, press the Space Bar.)
4. At the "Uniqname:" prompt, enter your uniqname.
5. At the "Old password:" prompt, enter your old password.
6. At the "New password:" prompt (press Return if you want to abort), enter your new password.
7. At the "Retype new password:" prompt, reenter your new password.

   Your connection will close when your new password is accepted.

From a Unix Machine

First, check with the system administrator for the Unix machine you are using to see if the appropriate software is installed to enable UMICH password changes. If it is, log on using your uniqname and UMICH password. Enter the command kpasswd and follow the prompts to change your password.

If the above options do not provide enough security for you, download Access manager for Windows. Access manager provides much more security than standard ways in Windows. More info
