Mac Password Changes
Users that DO NOT need to change password:
Clients that login with a generic user account or do not follow the standard first initial, middle initial, last-name format (i.e., Victor E. Tiger = vetiger).
Users that DO need to change password:
- Go to passwordreg.fhsu.edu, enter your credentials, and answer new security questions.
- Go to password.fhsu.edu and change your password.
- Go to the Apple drop-down menu and select System Preferences.
- Depending on your operating system, select Accounts or Users & Groups.
- Make sure your username is selected and choose Change Password… and change it to the new password that you created during step 2.
- Now log out of your account by going to the Apple menu and choosing Log Out….
- After logging in with your new password, select Create New Keychain Password.
- When prompted, OS X wants to use the "login" keychain, enter your old password.
- If you are using a desktop, the password changing process is complete.
- If you are using a laptop, continue.
- Return to System Preferences and choose Network.
- Make sure Wi-Fi is selected and click Turn Wi-Fi Off; wait 5-10 seconds and then click Turn Wi-Fi On.
