Change your network password
This article is intended to assist students in changing their password.
Background
This article describes how students and staff can change their network password from any Internet connection. You no longer need to be on campus grounds to change your password.
If a student has forgotten their password a teacher can reset it via the link on the Flinders Staff Launch page.
You do not need to use your own device to change the password! For example, suppose while on campus you cannot log into the network because your password has expired. You can borrow a device from someone else that is connected to the network and use that.
