Shared NetID - Password Reset for Proxy Account

Issue

 Campus member needs to change their password on a proxy email account.

Environment

  • Application/Host/Website: Proxy email account 
  • Error Message (If applicable): Under password reset on Neoweb it says: "Neoweb does not support password resets for special purpose accounts" 

Resolution

Shared NetIDs do not have the same privileges as a personal NetID account, and cannot access Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or a Texas A&M email account by default.

Changing the password on proxy accounts: 

  1. Go to https://gateway.tamu.edu/settings/proxy/
  2. Login using NetID/NetID password
  3. Choose the Shared NetID (or the tab applicable to your proxy account type)
  4. Select Edit 
  5. Change the Password
