Report a Stolen or Lost Device

Change Passwords

The first step should always be to change the passwords, passphrases, and keys for all sensitive accounts you access with the device.  Only change passwords on a trusted computer, if you are unsure if a computer is trusted, ask your IT support staff.

• CalNet passphrase: https://bpr.calnet.berkeley.edu/account-manager/
• Google apps keys for bConnected and Airbears2: https://idc.berkeley.edu/mmk/auth/index
• Any other sensitive and personal accounts you accessed with the device
