Fall break password reset
|
Your first line of defense when using technology is maintaining strong, secure passwords to protect your computer, your data, your students' data, and other systems throughout the TSC.
All TSC employees will be required to reset their TS Network/Google password when they return from fall break on Tuesday, October 22. Passwords can only be reset when connected to the TSC Network. If you won't be on campus on the 22nd, please navigate to
https://tscvdi.tsc.k12.in.us/
, select HTML access, then follow the prompts to reset your password.
New passwords must meet certain complexity requirements and must be unique from previously used passwords.
Here are a few tips
for creating strong passwords. Please do not make note of your password in a location that's accessible by others.
More information about this requirement can be found in
