Resetting your password
With MFA (see go/mfafull/), you can reset your own password at your convenience.
Tips for Success
- Always turn off all mobile devices before you begin! You’ll avoid account lockouts due to attempted connections using your old password.
- Whenever practical, tackle password resets or changes while you are on the Middlebury College network.

The preferred method for a password change when you know your current password is to use your computer’s operating system, as follows.
Important Note: If you have multiple computers, we recommended using your macOS computer to change your password.
For Windows, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, then choose “Change a Password.”
For MacOS, open Systems Preferences, then Users & Groups. Select your user account, then click the Change Password… button.
ALL STUDENTS; also Faculty & Staff who are either OFF-campus or NOT using a college-issued computer

Once you return to campus it may be necessary to restart your computer connected to a network to update computer password. macOS will require a wireless password be updated.
