Instructions for updating the login password for your university-managed computer after changing your password while off campus.

  2. Connect to App State using our Virtual Private Network (VPN) software (Cisco Secure Client). You will need to log into this software with your new password.
  3. Lock the computer, press Ctrl-Alt-Del > Lock.
  4. Log back in to your computer with your new password.

For Mac
