====== Resetting Your Password ======

Withe email provided by the Co-op, passwords must be reset via the webmail interface at webmail.libraries.coop

===== Setting Up Alternate Email to Reset/Recover Password =====
Once you have a co-op email account, you should configure it with an alternate account that can be used to recover/reset your password. To do this, once logged in at webmail.libraries.coop, under the Settings Wheel - Preferences select "Global Preferences"

Once on the Global Preferences page, select "Account Password"

and then on the resulting page, enter a secret question and answer and an alternate email address to use to recover this account (e.g. a home email account or something other than THIS account.)

===== Resetting Password if you still know it and can log in =====
If you still have your password but want to reset it, log in at webmail.libraries.coop, and under the menu item "Others" select "My Account" and then "Password"

Once you've got to this page, simply enter your old and new password. Do try to use passwords longer than 6 characters and that have a mix of lower and upper case and none-alphabetic symbols. Do not use information like your middle name or other easily guessable details.
