On-Line Password Tools

Many of your campus accounts now offer a password self-service feature that will allow you to reset or change a password on-line.  To take advantage of this feature, please take a few moments and enroll for each account listed below. 

Once you have successfully completed the quick enrollment process for each account you will be able to reset your passwords for any of the accounts without visiting the Help Desk. You can even reset the passwords from off campus if needed. If you do not register for these features you will need to visit the Help Desk in person with a photo ID to reset any passwords.

New - Change your network password by clicking here.

This account allows you to log onto all university owned computers, faculty/staff emails, wireless/residential networks, and library resources when off campus. There are two different on-line features for the network account:

  • Registration/Reset
    • You must register for the reset feature.  The reset feature allows you to reset the password for your network account if you have forgotten the password.
  • Change
    • There is no registration for this feature.  The change feature allows you to change your password if it has expired (great for Allied Health students) or if it is flagged to force a password change such as with new students wanting to connect to the wireless or residential network.

Network Account Password - Registration

To enroll in the network account password self-service reset feature follow the directions below.

  5. Click Authenticate

Now that you are registered, you can reset your password from any place, either on or off campus.

Network Account Password - Reset

If you have forgotten your network password and completed the registration process above you you can reset it from any lab computer on campus by clicking "Reset Password" from the logon page.  If you are off campus visit https://id.shawnee.edu/PasswordReset to reset the network account password.

Network Account Password - Change

This feature will allow you to change your network account password.  In order to use this feature you must know the current network account password.

This feature is useful in two important circumstances:

  1. Expired Passwords - Your network account password expires every 90 days.  Many SSU students take courses and may not be on campus but will still need access to library resources.
  2. One-Time Password - New accounts are flagged to force a student to reset their password upon first successful logon.  Meaning that new students wishing to connect to the wirelessnetwork would first need to come to campus to reset the network password.  Now the students can simply follow the link below and change their passwords online and save a trip to the Help Desk.

To change your password follow this link https://id.shawnee.edu/PasswordChange
