There are a few different ways to change your University NetID password. However, Computing Services strongly urges everyone to change their FDU NetID password using a provided Apple or Windows university computer.
The process for changing your FDU NetID password on a macOS device differs from a Windows device, so please follow the instructions provided for macOS computers below.
If you do not have a university-owned Apple or Windows laptop/desktop and cannot use a University lab computer, please follow the procedures described in “Using identity.fdu.edu Web Portal to Change your FDU NetID Password” below.
Please click on one of the links below for instructions on how to change your FDU NetID password:
Changing a FDU NetID Password on a FDU-owned Windows Computer
Note
To change your password, you must be logged into the machine and either on campus or connected to the Cisco AnyConnect VPN.
On FDU-issued laptops, desktops, and lab machines, the FDU NetID password can be changed by pressing the “Ctrl+Alt+Del” button combination on the keyboard from any screen and selecting “Change a Password”
Now enter the following:
Your old or current password
Type in a new password
Retype the new password to confirm
Press the “Right Arrow” button to continue
Tip
The newly created FDU NetID password must meet the complexity requirements.
Use 8 to 16 characters for your new password. Passwords must include all of the following 4 character types: Upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters. Allowed special characters are: ! # $ @ _ + , ? [ ] . – ) ( ` ~ % ^ & * = { } | : ? , / and a dot. Please refrain from using portions of your name or email address within the password. Please refrain from using a password that you have already used.
Once this has been done, you must lock and unlock the machine once to complete updating your password:
Press the “Ctrl+Alt+Del” keys combination again
Click “Lock”
Then log back in with your new password
Your FDU NetID password was changed successfully!
Note
Your new password will need to be updated in all web browsers with saved passwords and email clients across all devices. Examples include faculty and staff e-mail accounts synched to their iPad, iPhone, and or Android device. FDU-Secure Wi-Fi network access is also attached to your FDU NetID username and password and will need to be updated on devices that use it.
