Microsoft 365 - Password Reset (Provided)

Updated Apr 14, 2026 13 views 2 min read

In the instance where you are provided with a new Microsoft 365 password, a password reset will be required.

Once a temporary password has been provided to you, you will be required to change the password upon first login.

Forgot your password instead? If you weren't given a temporary password and simply can't remember yours, use the Self-Service Password Reset guide.

How to Change Your Microsoft 365 Password

  1. Open a web browser (Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, etc.) and visit the Outlook.com sign-in page
  2. Enter in your company email address and click "Next"
  3. When prompted, enter in the temporary password that was provided to you and then click "Sign In"
  4. The next screen will require you to change your password prior to logging into Microsoft 365
  • If prompted for your "current password" — the current password in this case is the temporary password that was provided to you

Once your password has been changed, you will be able to successfully access all assigned Microsoft 365 resources.

Note:
  • When accessing Microsoft 365 desktop applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Microsoft Teams, you may be prompted to enter in your password. In this case, enter the new password you just created.
  • Be sure you change the password on any mobile devices (iPhone/iPad/Android) that you were using to access Microsoft 365/Email.
