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:

1. 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”

2. 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

3. 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!

To change and/or synchronize your FDU NetID password with your FDU Issued Apple computer, please follow the directions provided in the following article:

Adjunct professors, students, and anyone with a personal laptop/desktop/tablet device will use the FDU Identity Web Portal to change their NetID password.
