Changing Your Password
WHO: All secondary students in KISD
WHAT: Required to change their KISD Password
WHEN: School Year 2017-2018
WHY: For security reasons, all students need to have secure passwords. Maintaining a secure password is also a
life long skill that should be practiced by all persons accessing information systems (computers, websites etc).
HOW:
1. Using any device that has internet access (computer, tablet,
phone etc.)
2. Go to the KISD Website at https://www.killeenisd.org
3. Click Students and Parents
4. Click Password Reset
5. Enter your KISD Email Address just as you would to log into
OneDrive (eg s123456@live.killeenisd.org)
6. Enter your Current Password
7. Click Set Password
• It is now time to THINK up a password
• Your password MUST be at least 10 characters long
• Must NOT contain your first name, last name, ID number or 3 digit Campus Code
• Must contain characters from at least 3 of the following categories
o Capital Letter (A-Z)
o Lower case Letter (a-z)
o Numbers (0-9)
o Special Character (!, $, #, % etc.)
• Think of a phrase or a few words that are easy for you to remember then capitalize a few of the
letters, substitute a number for a letter (like “1” for “I” or “5” for “s”) then substitute a special
character for a letter (like # for h or $ for s or & for the word “and”)
• An example of a good password could be Killeeni$d#1 (please do not use this PW as it is now known
by everyone)
• Once you think up your new password go to step #8
