Log off your remote desktop first
Change the password on your laptop
Once changed, remote into your desktop and login with your new password.
NOTE: If you don’t change your password in the order mentioned above for that specific, NetMotion setup; you could Lock yourself out from the remote laptop.
If this occurs, you will have to bring your laptop into work and physically put on the network to recache your new password.

If you've been locked out of your computer, call the CTM help desk at 512-974-4357 and they will provide you with a temporary password. You will be prompted to supply a new password when you log in.
NOTE: If you have NetMotion and your password expired, tell the CTM Helpdesk your password will have to be set to what it was when it expired in order to still be able to login to your local laptop.
Please tell the helpdesk that the “change at first login” flag cannot be set when resetting the password for those of you on NetMotion. You will get caught in a loop at login.
