Changing Your Password

Your network password is used to access the Lawrence network as well as your Lawrence e-mail account. Your initial network password is set by ITS. However, the first time you access your account you will be required to change this password. Your new password is then valid for 365 days.

You may change or reset a forgotten password at anytime, provided you know your LU username and ID number, through the online Account Center. The Account Center also allows you to connect to LU's e-mail client and access Voyager.

Changing your network and e-mail password:

    1. From a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, go to the Account Center at https://viking.lawrence.edu/
    2. Click on Manage your network account.
    3. Enter your username and Lawrence ID number.
    4. Click Continue.
    5. Click the Change Password button. If this is the first time you have used your password it will be pre-expired.

    8. Retype your new password in the Confirm new password field.
