Student Laptop Loaner passwords

Question

What is the passphrase (password) for my loaner laptop?

Environment

  • Loaned Computers

Answer

As of March 2021, newly distributed student loaners will be equipped with a grccstudent account.

Info: Important: Laptop credentials will be different than MyGRCC credentials.
  • All loaner devices will be set up with a grccstudent local account with a default passphrase. This passphrase will be given to the student by the library.
  • Upon first login, students will be required to create a new passphrase. This ensures each student has a unique and secure account.
  • This account is designed to expire one week past the end date of each semester to encourage the return of the device. This end date is calculated based on the first log-on date of the account.
    • The semester end dates are pulled from the academic calendar.
  • This account is a member of the administrator group, allowing students to install applications. Note: Accounts will see a User Account Control (UAC) prompt when installing applications.
  • Passphrases for this account expire every 120 days. Windows will handle prompting and resetting the account if the device is kept for that duration.
Danger: IMPORTANT: Students do not have the ability to self-service reset these passphrases. If forgotten, students must return the device to the library for a replacement. IT will only reset passphrases in specific and special circumstances.
