Change Windows Password

Challenge

Windows is requesting a password change and you would like to change it at a convenient time.

Suggestions to create a strong password:

Strong passwords help prevent unauthorized people from accessing files, programs, and other resources, and should be difficult to guess or crack. A good password:

- Is at least 12 characters long
- Doesn't contain your user name, real name, or company name
- Doesn't contain a complete word
- Is significantly different from previous passwords
- Contains uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols

Cause

First Choice Dental requires password changes every 90 days.  You will start to receive reminders to change password 5 days prior to being forced at next login.

Solution

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and then click Change a password... (1).

More Information

Please be proactive about changing your password. Your computer should prompt you a few days in advance about changing your password, which can prevent errors like these.
