For security reasons, UiB is adjusting its password policy.

This means that all users who have not changed their password since the beginning of October 2009 are required to change their password.  
 
== Does this apply to me? ==
 
If you have changed your password since 1st October, 2009, you will not have to change it again yet.
 
== When? ==
 
On 25th January, 2010, an e-mail will be sent to all users who must change their password.
However, it is preferable to change it before this. In February we will send reminders to all users who have not changed their password. After 22nd March, permission to UiB's IT resources will be denied for those still holding an old password.
After this date, it will still be possible to restore access by changing the password on sebra.it.uib.no  
 
== Important considerations before changing your password ==
 
=== For all users ===
 
After you have changed your password you must log off the PC and then log on again.
 
=== Changing your UiB password from a laptop ===
 
If you are using a laptop set up by the IT department, you must be physically connected to the UiB network with a network cable when changing your password.
 
=== Do you have a mobile phone or mobile device? ===
 
If you use a mobile phone or other mobile devices to read e-mail or calendar, you must remember to make the corresponding password change. If not, you may find that your UiB user account is locked because the device tries to log on several times with your old password.
 
=== How do I change my password? ===
 
This page shows you how to change your password:
