How to change your network passwords

Here are some suggested guidelines to use when choosing your password. Your password should be at least eight characters with at least one number. Choose something easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess, like your birthday plus your favorite pet's name. Memorize your password rather than writing it down on a sticky note. By doing this you protect yourself as well the security of our University systems.
