Change initial password and enroll in self-service
Overview:
With-in the MADREN we utilize Microsoft Azure Active Directory. You will first need to change your initial password, and from there this will enroll you in the Self-Service Password Reset portal where you can change your own password if you forget it.
You should have received a welcome email from a member of ITS with your initial user name and password. If you did not receive it please contact your Research Leader and have them request an account for you.
Solution:
-
Please navigate to https://login.microsoftonline.com
-
In the open text field, enter your new MADREN email address from the welcome email you received and click Next. This should be similar to 'FirstName.LastName@madren.org' Next enter your initial password and click Next. On the next page, it will prompt you to change your initial password. Re-enter your initial password and then your new password on the next two lines and click Next. The only requirement is that it needs to be a minimum of 20 characters.
-
After you click next, you will more than likely be greeted with a message that says your password has been updated successfully, but it will take a few minutes before everything gets replicated from Azure down to the MADREN Active Directory. Wait a minute or two and then navigate back to https://login.microsoftonline.com, where you can now sign in with your new password.
-
Before you can successfully sign in your will need to set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). You will need 2 forms of MFA. Typically we use the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone, and SMS text messaging. The wizard will walk you through the setup of both.
-
Once signed in you will have access to the whole Microsoft Office suite. (Word, Excel, OneDrive, Teams, etc). This also enrolls you in the Self-Service Password Reset portal as well.
