Default student passwords are easy to guess, thus making them less secure. It is recommended that all students change their password to something more secure, difficult to guess, and easy for them to remember.
New students enrolled after the school year has started must change their password in order to activate their school-issued Google account. New Students will not be able to sign into Chromebooks, access email, or access other Google services, such as Meet and Classroom, until their password has been changed.
Students can change their passwords remotely through Office 365. To do so, begin by logging into Office365 at https://portal.office.com
· Log in using the student email address as the username and the current password. For new students, this is the default password
· Click on the circle with initials icon in the upper-right corner
· On the menu that opens, click “View account”
· A new window will open showing the user account information. In the left pane, click “Password”
· To view this password page directly, browse to: https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/ChangePassword.aspx
The following password form will be displayed, allowing students to change their password:
In the “Old password” box, enter the current password.
In both the “Create new password” and “Confirm new password” boxes, enter a new password. Choose a password that is easy to remember but hard for others to guess. Be sure to enter the password exactly the same in both boxes.
Click on the “submit” button to save the new password.
Once submitted, the student’s password is immediately updated on the school network and on Google. Students may use this new password right away to log onto school-issued Chromebooks and school- provided Google services.
If any student has difficulty changing their password during virtual learning, they can send an email to: student.helpdesk@sayrevillek12.net Student should include their Student ID number in the message in order to expedite service. During regular school sessions, a teacher or the school main office staff can reset passwords for students.
