Student Society/Club : Primary Guidelines

5. Password

For a new account, the password must be altered as soon as possible to a private choice. The account will be locked if the password is not changed within 7 days.
The password must be changed every time there is any change to the list of people authorised to use the account (including the owner).
Any misuse of the account by previous committee members through failure to change the password will be the responsibility of the new IT Officer in the first instance.
It is not possible to use the security question/answer route to recover from a lost password. This is because the society account is not associated with a personal University Card. You can change the password in the normal way if you know the old one. If the password is lost, you need to get a new one from the OUCS Help Centre and you will need to see a Registration specialist to do this. OUCS will only release a password to a properly registered user of the account.
