How to Change Your Password
Your computer password is connected to your Office 365 password so the password you use to login to your computer is the same password you would use to sign into any Office 365 applications (e.g. Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, etc.). Your password expires every 3 months and you will be required to change it when it expires.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must be either connected to the SAXX Corporate WiFi network (if you are in the office) or connected to the VPN first before following the steps below or you will get an error message when you try to change your password. If you cannot login to the VPN because your password is expired, please contact helpdesk@saxxunderwear.com and we will temporarily set your password to not be expired so you can change it.
To change your password:
Windows
- Press Ctrl + Alt + Del on your keyboard.
-
On the blue screen with options that appear, click on 'Change a password'.
