Managing Your Network ID
Your network credentials give you access to most Lafayette systems. It is extremely important that you do not share your credentials with anyone, including family and colleagues.
ITS provides an online password utility that allows you to change or reset your Network ID password, set and update an alternate email address, display information about your account and request guest accounts for your campus visitors.
Change Your Password
ITS recommends that users periodically change their password--every three to six months-- as well as any time you think your password may have been compromised. We also provide guidelines on how to create strong passwords.
Forgotten Passwords
If you do not remember your password but have set up an alternate email address, you can have a temporary link sent to that address that allows you to rest a forgotten password.
Set or Update an Alternate Email Address
The password utility includes a feature that lets you reset a forgotten password. This feature requires that you set an alternate email address. The alternate email address you provide will not be used for any communication other than the password reset. Please come back to update the alternate email address if you change email providers or stop using the alternate email account.

Display Your Account Information
If at any time you are interested in viewing information associated with your account, you have the option of displaying that information.
Guest Accounts
Because it is important that you do not share your network password, ITS provides a way for you to request a temporary Network ID and password for a guest. You are responsible for the conduct of that guest so do not request accounts for people you do not know and trust.
