After you filled all 3 fields press Enter on your keyboard.

Password requirements: 

• Password must contain uppercase letter (A-Z)

3.  If you filled all the necessary fields correctly and the domain accepted your new password you should see a screen telling you that your password has been changed. Press OK and press Sign in button to sign in with your new password.

If somehow the message is different from the one above please continue to the rest of this guide for the explanation of the other messages.

PASSWORD DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS

If you see a screen with a similar message to the one below. It means that the domain rejected your new password and you should make sure that your new password meets all the requirement of the domain. Please refer to the step 2 for the domain password requirements.

PASSWORD DID NOT MATCH

If you see a message similar to the one below it means that you entered a wrong password in the Old password field or the passwords that you entered in the New password field and Confirm password field did not match. Please make sure that the password that you entered in both fields match.
