Account Password Resets
CIT highly recommends setting up a process known as Self Service Password Reset (SSPR). By setting this process up, you will be able to change your password without needing to contact the CIT HelpDesk. If you have set up Multi-Factor Authentication, it is likely that you have already set up SSPR. Please reference the following links on how to configure SSPR if it is not configured and how to use SSPR to reset your password.

What happens to the data on my existing college owned computer?
Once your computer is handed in to CIT, the computer is wiped and a new instance of OS is installed. This means that any data not removed from the device or saved elsewhere will be deleted and cannot be recovered at a later time. If data needs to be transferred from your existing college owned computer to a personal computer, CIT recommends using Google Drive (as Geneseo account holders have unlimited storage) or a personal external hard drive. Once the files are uploaded to Google Drive or saved to an external hard drive, you can easily move the files to the new computer by either accessing Google Drive via the web and downloading the files you need or plugging in the external hard drive to the new computer and copying the files over.
Please work with your department and the department chair to determine if there is any data that needs to be have its owner changed prior to your retirement. This would include files that you might own or maintain for your department in Google Drive or your departmental/personal folders on the file server. CIT recommends Google Shared Drives for files that fall into this category.
