3.  Next, select the "Change Password..." button in the "Windows Security" dialog box.

4. First, make sure the user name listed in the "User name" text field is your own. If it is not, change the user name to:

• your CSUCI ID + "@islands.csuci.edu" (if you are a student)
• your CSUCI ID + "@csuci.edu" (if  you are a CSUCI employee)

5. Next, type in your current Domain Password in the "Old Password" dialog box. If you don't know your current Domain Password, please contact the Help Desk.

6. Then, type in your new password in both the "New Password" and "Confirm New Password" fields. See the section on "Creating a Strong Password" in this document for tips on choosing good passwords. When you are finished, select the "OK" button.

7. If you have entered the password correctly, a confirmation dialog box will apppear.

8. Select the "OK" button to close the confirmation dialog box. To finish, select the "Cancel" button to close the Windows Security window. You can now use your new password to logon to the computer labs and to access other systems which use your Domain Password.
