How do I Sync my password after changing it while still logged into my UNCW-owned Mac?

1. You will see the notification below once your computer checks in after changing your UNCW account password. Select "Sync" or click on the notification.
   
   
    
2. Log in with your UNCW email and new password.
   
   
    
3. You will be prompted by a pop-up that says, "Your Mac and email passwords do not match." This is asking for the password you used to log in to the computer.
   
   
    
4. Once you enter your old password, JAMF Connect will update your login and FileVault passwords to your new password.
