NOTE: Anytime your SOM password is changed, whether you change it on your own or have it reset by the SOM Help Desk, you must update the credentials on any devices previously connected to the BYOD Wi-Fi.

Failing to do so will result in your account being locked due to the device providing a now incorrect password.

On your device, forget the network completely, then reconnect with your username and new password.

    NOTE: If your SOM account password changes, whether you change it on your own or have it reset by the SOM Help Desk, you must update the credentials on any devices previously connected to the BYOD Wi-Fi.

    Failing to do so will result in your account being locked due to the device providing a now incorrect password. If this happens, please call the SOM Help Desk for assistance - 702-895-0451
