resetting student passwords
Now that you are back on campus, you are now able to reset your student's passwords, no middle-man needed!!
Student passwords need to be at least 8 characters in length, and should contain 3 of the 4 following criteria:
- Upper Case Letter
- Lower Case Letter
- Number
- Special Character (!@#$%^&*)
In addition to the password criteria, the password cannot have the student/user name or be similar to the previous password (which is not specified on the screen). This triggers the LDAP error. If you need a password reset refresher CLICK HERE.
