Windows Account & Media Rooms

Windows Account & Media Rooms#

College Windows Account#

Your Windows Username and Password will be automatically emailed to you. Please be aware that this can take up to 72 hours to arrive. Your Windows account is not required in order to access the Internet on your own device. When you receive your account details, you will notice that your username is your G Number (the one that is printed on your Goodcard.) You will need to change your password the first time you login.

Media Room PCs#

The PCs in the media rooms are primarily for you to print out documents. Please do not monopolise them by using them for long-term research purposes. All the Media Room PCs have Windows 10 and Microsoft Office 2016. The London House Media Room is located in the Basement in the North East Corner near the Buttery and the Members Common Room. The William Goodenough House Media Room is also located in the Basement. Just go down the stairs (not the ramp) by the bookcase in the Reception Area.

Changing your Password#

When changing your temporary password, change it to something memorable but not too obvious. Longer passwords with multiple words are more secure than shorter ones. Passwordl is not a good password.

Resetting your Password#

If you ever forget your password, you will be able reset it yourself. In order to do this, you will need to create a couple of security questions when you first arrive at the College that will be used later on to prove your identity and reset your password.

Your Windows password needs to be changed every 60 days. A reminder email will be sent out 5 days before it expires. (This is the email address that the College has on file.) It is your responsibility to let the Registry Department know if you change your email address.

Using Password Reset - To Reset your Password#

WARNING - ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR PASSWORD!#

You need to physically be on the College Campus in order to reset your password. For security reasons this cannot be done offsite.

You will not be able to reset your password from a Media Room PC as you will be unable to login. We suggest using your laptop or tablet instead. This process can be done on a smartphone but the Password Reset Portal does not display very well on some phones. If your smartphone has problems displaying the Password Reset Portal, try rotating your phone 90 degrees into landscape mode. This often cures the display issues.
