Hi Joseph, Your password for account "JHeaton" expires in 0 day(s). Please change the password as soon as possible to prevent further logon problems. If connected to the network, press CTRL-ALT-DEL, and choose Change Password. Then follow the on-screen prompts. If remote, follow the above steps, ensuring you are connected through the VPN first. If you have a department issued smartphone, once you change your password, you will need to enter it on the phone as well. If you need any assistance, please contact the Helpdesk: 916-123-5684.
