Question
How do I reset my passphrase so I can use the Library VPN?
Answer
Note: In order to use this method you must know your current password. If you do not, please see the main Change your Passphrase article.
- Go to Computing Accounts
- Click Change your passphrase
- Enter your authentication information. It must match what is on file with payroll (faculty/staff) or the registrar (students).
- Click Submit Information.
- Enter your Kerberos LoginID and select Kerberos Passphrase for your authorization method.
- Make sure the checkbox for Change Passphrase for all services is checked.
- Click Continue
- Enter your current Kerberos Passphrase into the Old Kerberos Passphrase field
- Click Continue
- Review the confirmation page, then click End Session.
Note: Please allow up to 15-minutes after resetting your passphrase before attempting to login to the Library VPN.
You will receive an email to your office @ucdavis.edu address usually within a few minutes whether you were successful or not. The email will not contain your passphrase.
