Changing your Bowdoin Password

You may change your Bowdoin password through Webmail OR through your computer's operating system (e.g., Windows, Macintosh OSX).   If you change your password via your operating system, you must be using a Bowdoin-managed computer.

NOTE:  Students should always change their password through Webmail.

If your password is about to expire, and you log-in to Webmail or a Windows or Macintosh computer, you will automatically be prompted (forced) at logon to change your password.

At any other time, you may change your password by following the instructions for Webmail or your operating system.
