Your off-campus computer's password won't update when you changed your NetID password. You can update it by bringing it to campus. Or use VPN and these instructions. |
Two options to make sure your off-campus laptop updates to your new password.- Knowing how to do this is useful if you changed your password following a password compromise.
Option 1
- Bring your laptop to campus and get your device on Cornell's wireless network.
- Hit Windows Key + L at the same time (lock your computer).
- When it requests your password to let you back in, type in the new password.
Logging back in updates your password.
Option 2
If your computer is off-campus, follow these steps to update to your new password:
- Login to Cornell VPN.
- Hit Windows Key + L at the same time (lock your computer).
- When it requests your password to let you back in, type in the new password.
Logging back in updates your password.
