| If you have a laptop or home computer, you'll have an admin password for it. This may be different from your RCS Passphrase. Resetting one does not reset the other; you'll have to change both if you want them to be the same.

| '''Method 1 - Forced Change'''
| |
|
| |
| If you are informed that your password will expire in a certain number of hours or days, please continue to use the machine. After your password expires, the Macintosh will automatically pop-up a window ''the next time you attempt to login'' which will allow you to change your password right then and there. Please follow the RCS account password requirement rules above in forming your new password. You will not be allowed to login until you have entered a correctly formatted password.
| |
|
| |
| '''Method 2 - Deliberate change'''
| |
|
| |
| If you wish to change your password at any time after you have logged in to the Mac, click the System Preferences icon in your Dock then choose the Accounts preference:
