Environment

• Oregon State University

• OSU Domain-Joined Computer
• ONID Account, other Active Directory Account

Explanation

If you use an OSU-managed Windows computer off the OSU network, you will need to follow the steps below after you change your ONID or other AD password.

Resolution

Use VPN on a Remote OSU Domain-Joined Computer

1. Login to your computer with your current/old password
2. Visit onid.oregonstate.edu to change your password
   • For detailed steps, see: ONID - How to Change your Password
3. Connect to the OSU VPN (login with your new ONID password)
   • For steps, see: Guide: VPN Setup
4. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del, and lock the screen
5. Login at the Windows login screen with your new password

On-Campus with an OSU Domain-Joined Computer

If you have a laptop, you can also come to campus and follow these steps instead:

1. Login to your computer with your current/old password
2. Connect to the OSU network (wired or wireless)
   • For steps to connect to wireless, see: Guide: Connect to Wireless
3. Visit onid.oregonstate.edu to change your password
   • For ONID accounts, follow the steps here: ONID - How to Change your Password
4. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del, and lock the screen
5. Login at the Windows login screen with your new password

After following the above steps, you may need to "forget" the OSU_Secure or eduroam wireless network in order to reset your saved password in wireless settings.
