How to Change Your MHmicroscopy Password

If Your Know Your Password (and it can be expired!):

LOCALLY:

At a computer in the facility log on and follow the steps below.  If your password is expired you will be immediately prompted for a new password.

REMOTELY:

On almost any Windows computer (except Windows Home editions) on campus (and off campus while running VPN connected to SOM or ITS main campus) press and hold down the Ctrl-Alt-Delete keys.  The Windows security box will appear.

Press the Change Password... button with the mouse (or press and hold the alt + C keys)

All five entry lines must be changed:

• At User name: Enter your mhmicroscopy account name
• At Log on to: Erase existing if necessary & enter MHMICROSCOPY  or  152.19.58.67 (see notes below)
• At Old Password: Enter your password (can be expired!)
• New Password: Enter your desired new password
• Confirm New: Enter your desired new password again

Press OK or hit Enter

You will get a message indicating success or failure.  This may take some time.

Notes:

• Using MHMICROSCOPY at the Log on to: box will work if you are on a computer at the School of Medicine or at a UNC computer connected to the Sch of Med. network (WINS), or connected to the Sch. of Medicine VPN.  Otherwise use the i.p. number 152.19.58.67 instead of MHMICROSCOPY.
• Yes!  You may change your MHmicroscopy password from your lab. computer.

If You Have Forgotten Your Password or need further assistance:

Please contact a facility director in order to have your password manually updated, or to arrange a time to come by the facility to secretly enter a new password.  Please note:

• We can not read/look up your password
• The School of Medicine forbids sending of passwords via e-mail
• Passwords must contain at least one numeral, symbol, an upper case letter, a lower case letter and be at least 8 characters, and can not be the same as the 12 previously used passwords.  These rules are slightly different to the Sch. of Med. & ITS password rules.
