What is my LAN password?
Your LAN password is your Local Area Network password and is used to access the following items:
Webmail, Blackboard, Campus Computers, Uniprint Stations, Wireless Access, and EZ-Proxy


To Change Your LAN Password: The LAN password guidelines require a length of at least eight characters and enabled password filtering to disallow commonly used passwords ( "password" or "thisismypassword").

If you type your password incorrectly three times, your LAN account will be locked. Please contact the ITS HelpDesk for assistance unlocking your account. Otherwise, your account will automatically unlock in 30 minutes.
