It is up to you to remember your Novell account password, and you may change it at any time. The following instructions will take you through the process of changing your Novell account password from Windows 2000/XP.

Note: Academic Computing recommends that when selecting a password you do not use any word that can be found in the dictionary or familiar names and dates. The best type of password is a cryptic combination of letters, numbers, and/or symbols.

You must be logged into your own Novell account before you can change your Novell password.
