RSS District Passwords
- Our District uses a process called Active Directory to link most of your RSS accounts together. That's why your email, schoology, filtering and google drive all share the same password.
- You are required to change your password periodically to help ensure the safety of your password.
Can I RESET my password myself?
- DO IT NOW. If you are ever locked out you will be SO glad that your did.
- Pick the following 2 questions. These have answers that will not change.
- What city were you born in?
- What was your mother's maiden name?
Password Requirements
- The requirements of your password:
- Minimum of 8 characters
- Cannot use part of user name for password
- Cannot be any of your last 5 passwords
- Must have 3 of the following:
- Capitol Letter
- lowercase letter
- Special Character
- Numerical Character
- You will NEVER be sent a request to change your password with a LINK. It will come from WITHIN the District and have specific instructions on how to change your password.
- You will get a reminder EVERY DAY for 10 days until you change it.
- IF you don't change your password within the 10 days your email will be LOCKED until you change your password.
HELP! My password suddenly isn't working...
- If you try unsuccessfully to log in 3-4 times it will lock your account. It will THINK that your account is being hacked.
- or IF your credentials are used on 5 different devices in a day your account will automatically lock. This is to protect you. Students may have gotten access to your credentials and shared it with others. This it to prevent them from continuing to use your information to log-in AND give you an opportunity to change your password.
- It will NOT tell your that your account is locked... you just can't log in.
- The good news is that your account will automatically UNLOCK itself in 30-40 minutes. Try to be patient - and then you get 3-4 more PLANNED attempts. Choose wisely ; )
As always - come see me if you still need help and I can help you think through it. I know it may seem like an inconvenience HOWEVER it IS for your own protection. There really are bad guys out there trying to hack into our accounts. Be smart. Be safe!
