Password Safety
Your password secures all information to which you have been granted access. All network and/or computer interaction performed under a username and password is the responsibility of the person to whom the username was assigned. Your username and password must remain confidential; it is imperative that you do not share your username and password with anyone. Students gaining access to your password can gain full access to your files, e-mail, attendance, grades, and personal information.
Do not share your username and password with anyone.
Do not post your password on or near your computer.
If you suspect that someone has obtained your password, it is your responsibility to change it immediately (Control + Alt + Delete ► Change Password), and to notify the Technology Department by submitting a Help Desk ticket (http://helpdesk.newyorkmills.org).
