Depending on how LON-CAPA is authenticating you, you may be able to change your password.

To change your password, do the following:

  1. Select PREF on the Remote Control or Main Menu.

  2. At the Change Preferences screen, click the [Change Password] button.

  3. Type your current password in the current password text box.

  4. Type your new password in the new password text box.

  5. Re-type your new password in the confirm password box.

  6. Click the [Change Password] button.

If you cannot change your password, please contact your system administrator to find out how. For instance, at Michigan State University, most users authenticate against the campus-wide system. For those users to change the password LON-CAPA uses, they need to change their MSU Net ID (email) password. Your system administrator will know what you need to do.
