  1.   At home, power up your mgm casino PC and log in using the old password

  3.  Once connected to mgm casinoVPN, a pop-up notification may appear in the lower right of the Windows screen near the clock as the computer communicates with on-campus Active Directory servers
  4. Whether or not you see that pop-up, synchronize the new password to the Windows laptop by locking and unlocking the screen:
    1. Simultaneously press either the “Windows logo key and letter l" or “Ctrl-Alt-Delete”
    2. Select Lock
  5. Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete, enter your new password and press Enter to unlock
  6. The new password is now available on the laptop and should be used to log in going forward.
