Helpful information before you begin

• If you have a RRC Polytech-issued laptop and are working off campus, you will first need to connect to VPN, and then proceed either to Claim your account / Forgot your password or to the Change your password sections, in order to change your password successfully.
• To create a secure and strong password that adheres to RRC Polytech’s password policy, please open the Create a strong password and Password policy webpages for information.
• If you have recently changed your password and are not sure why your account is locked, please open the Unlock your RRC Polytech account webpage for additional information.

Which instructions do I use?
