Clear Wrong Password for Pharos Printing

Tuesday, November 10, 2015

When printing to a Xerox printer on campus, you may be presented with a log in box (the Pharos Popup client) when trying to print a document. If you enter a wrong password for your account, the Pharos client will continue to use that wrong password and stop you from being able to print. Here's how to clear the bad password so you can continue with your print job.

There are two ways to clear a bad password:

Option 1

Log out of or restart your computer, then log back in. The next time you print a document you will be able to re-enter your account information.

Option 2

Clear the saved password via the Pharos Popup Client Configuration utility.

  • For Windows, click Start Menu -> Programs -> Pharos -> Popup Client Configuration utility -> Click Clear Saved Answers Now
  • For Mac, click Macintosh HD -> Library -> Application Support -> Pharos -> PopupConfiguration -> Click Clear Saved Answers Now

If you are unable to successfully clear the bad password, contact the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827.

Changes to WSU Accounts

Monday, November 9, 2015

Your campus ’w’ username and Office 365 (Wright State email) accounts will soon have the same password.

On or after November 17, the next time you change your password you will only have one password for both accounts. This change will reduce your number of Wright State passwords from three to two. On or after November 17, follow the steps below under "Password Sync Steps" to ensure a smooth transition for your accounts. 

Important Notes

  • Your UID and PIN will not be affected by this change
  • Beginning November 17, all password changes should be done through the “Change Password” tool in WINGS
  • The password change feature in Office 365 will still be available. However, this will cause the passwords for your accounts to become out of sync. Doing this is not recommended by CaTS.
  • You will need to update your mobile device passwords for both your email apps and ‘WSU-Secure’ wireless network (see steps 2 and 3 below)

Students

  • Your new password will be good for the next 5 years, unless you choose to change it yourself

Faculty and Staff

  • Your password will still need to be changed every 180 days
