Summary

This article will assist users to change their password while working remotely with a Broward College laptop or desktop.

Body

If you are working remotely on a Broward College Laptop or Desktop, please do not change your password via Broward College One Access. You can change your password while on campus on your BC laptop, connected to the BC Wifi network.

You will need to follow these steps to ensure your Laptop or Desktop synchronizes the password correctly, while working remote

1. Connect to the Global Protect VPN client. Go to your taskbar, find the Global Protect Application 

Note: If you do not have VPN installed on your Broward College Laptop or Desktop you took to your remote location, you can request it by submitting this service request: https://helpdesk.broward.edu/TDClient/1880/Portal/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=18956

2. Click on the application and you will then have the ability to CONNECT. Click on the Connect.

3. You will need to use your current password to connect. Once you have connected successfully, you will now proceed to change your password.

4. On your keyboard hit CTRL - ALT - DEL together. 

5. Once you hit the CTRL - ALT - DEL a new screen will appear. On that screen you will select "Change Password"

6. You will now be presented with a screen to input your current password and then you will be able to create a new password.
