Change your password

You can change your password at any time while on campus or at home.

________________
Please note the following prior to following password change instructions

• If you change from home or use our web-based methods, your school issued computer will not acknowledge this until it is rebooted while connected to the school network.
  • If you use the web-based methods and are connected to the school network, you should reboot immediately and login with your new password
  • If you are away from campus and use the web-based methods, You will continue to login/unlock your computer with your previous password while your Google Services, Clever, Email, etc will use your new password. Once your computer returns to the school network, it is best to reboot it and login to sync everything back up.
• If you change your password while connected to the campus network using a Macbook or Windows device using their native methods, your password will change immediately for your computer, Google Services, Clever, Email, etc.

We have provided access to the school network in the main parking lot at Benton High School. You can connect to the school network from within your vehicle.
