When on campus, changing your password is a smooth process for ECU-managed Windows computers because the system is connected to the ECU network.
However, if your password is changed while off campus (NOT connected to the ECU network), your ECU-managed desktop or laptop computer will not recognize the new password. This means that when you log in to your computer, you must use the previous password but use the updated password to log in to all other ECU systems.
The fix for this problem is to connect to the ECU network through the virtual private network. Please note that these instructions are for ECU-managed desktop or laptop computers.
