Change your password

Here, you can change your password. It's important to do this from time to time. If other people learn your password, they can log helpdesk calls and submit articles under your name. They can access files that might be confidential. They can access any administrative privileges that you have.

When you pick a new password, try to make it difficult for people to guess. Using your own name, or that if a loved one, is not recommended. Using words written down on posters or objects around your place of work is also not recommended. These are all things that somebody trying to guess your password would try.

When you have a new password to enter, put your old password in the CURRENT password box and then type your new password carefully in both the NEW password boxes. Click the "Set your password" button to make the change.

If you get your current password wrong, or mis-type your new one, no changes will happen.
