The Password Self Service website
allows users to update their Wildcat password to meet our new
heightened security requirements. When updating, challenge questions will need
to be created allowing you in the future to reset a forgotten or expiring
password. Yes that’s right; a call to the IT Service Desk will no longer be
required to reset your Wildcat password:

Step 1: Wildcat Password Creation
With your current Wildcat ID (GroupWise or Wildcat
Mail username) and password login at:
http://wildcatid.weber.edu/vo
-
If you do NOT know your password, you can
go directly to:
https://portalapps.weber.edu/getwcid/ to get
a temporary password. ONLY use this when you
have tried unsuccessfully to enter the correct
password several times.
-
If you do NOT know your Wildcat ID call the IT
Service Desk at 801-626-7777.
Complete all
three areas on the page, beginning at the top
and clicking on SUBMIT after EACH SECTION.
**You may enter the challenge questions and then
when you click on SUBMIT, it asks you to log in
again. Please re-log in and enter the challenge
questions again - exactly as you did the first
time. This time when you click on Submit, it
should take to the the screen shown below.
-
Click on the
lock icon at the top of the page

Area 1)
Change your password according to the
specified criteria and
Submit

-
Successful
change message should display

Area 2)
Create a Password Hint and
Submit

Area 3)
**
If you set your two challenge questions
when first logging in, you should only
need to verify that the second question
(the one you create) is still listed.
Neither of your answers should be
visible, but having the question present
indicates that it was retained.
If you did not have to do that part, do
this now...Set two challenge questions, one the
system provides - and you answer, and
the second one you create. Be prepared
to create a question that ONLY YOU know
the answer to. Something that doesn't
change, so you won't forget your answer,
and create a question that is unique to
you.
Submit.
**Note: Be sure to create a Challenge
Question where only you know the answer
and the answer stays the same.

Step 2: GroupWise password synchronization
Since the move to LDAP authentication on
January 25th, GroupWise should
automatically be synchronized with your
Wildcat username and password. If you
are unable to get into GroupWise using
your new password, please contact the IT
Service Desk for assistance.
Step 3: Workstation Password
synchronization
(Strongly Recommended for Campus
Computers ONLY. Non campus users -
Move to Step 4)
Synchronize your Workstation
password with your new Wildcat
password so that you will only
have to log in once when you
start your computer each day.
-
Click
CTRL-ALT-DEL
keys
-
select:
Change Password.
-
Highlight the small
computer icon
ONLY (not the tree) -
this will allow you to set
your workstation password.
-
Enter your current password
and then the new password
twice.
-
Once you click OK - this new
password will be set for
your workstation.
Step 4: Verification that it
works!
Go to any of the following
that you use to verify
that your new password is
working correctly:
-
Log into
Vista
-
if you teach a class
to make sure it is
successful
-
Log into the current
Faculty/Staff portal
-
Log into
Chi-Tester
-
Log into
Crystal
Reports
-
Finally, if all of
these recognize your
new password and you
are using a campus
machine,
restart
your computer and
log in using your
new password.
If you run into any
problems or need a
clarification on any
step of the process,
please call our IT
Service Desk at
x7777.

management! |
