Accounts

Passwords - If you are having problems logging into your account, the IT Helpdesk can assist you with this. There are a few things to note before calling the IT Helpdesk:

• WebID passwords are "Case-Sensitive." Please ensure your "caps-lock" keyboard button is set correctly and you are typing the password EXACTLY as you set it originally.


• WebID passwords cannot be longer than 8 characters


• For Security Reasons: The IT Helpdesk is unable to retrieve any passwords, OR change any passwords over the telephone.

If you are unable to come by the IT Helpdesk with a PhotoID, we have two alternate methods of changing your password:

• On-Line Forgot Password Form
• Change Password FAX Form

E-Mail - All University students and employees are given @olemiss.edu e-mail addresses. You may access your e-mail account from the WebMail Login Page, or setup the account using an e-mail program (ie.. Outlook, Eudora, Thunderbird). See our E-mail Assistance page for more information.

Dial-Up - The Nexus2 server controls all campus dial-up service. For more information about the campus dial-up service, contact the Telecommunications Department at:         (662) 915-5922.
