Your regular UVM NetID account password cannot be changed using the instructions in this article. Those accounts must be managed through https://account.uvm.edu. If you’ve updated your NetID account password and your domain-joined Windows computer isn’t taking the new password, you may need to connect to the UVM network (or connect to the VPN if you’re off-campus) for your computer to learn the new password.
Passwords cannot be reset through RDP. Please ensure that you reset the password for your domain account on your workstation.
Some accounts at UVM have elevated permissions to perform various actions on the Domain. These accounts cannot be reset through https://account.uvm.edu.
Examples:
| Account Type | Username |
|---|---|
| Tech | NetID.tech |
| Admin | NetID.adm |
Change Domain Account Password
Unlike user accounts, the option to change your password within Windows is enabled for Domain-only accounts. You can change your credentials by following the steps below. If you are not on campus connected to the UVM network, connection to the VPN is recommended before completing these steps:
- Log into your workstation (a Domain-joined Windows machine) with the account that needs a password change.
- After logging in, press ctrl+alt+del.
- Click on Change a password.
- Enter your current password, a new password, and a password confirmation.
