Managing Your GroupWise

E-Mail Account Password

Every Employee has access to an e-mail account through the BOCES wide GroupWise e-mail system.  Everyone can access their e-mail via Webmail on any computer that’s connected to the Internet with a web browser, either at home or at school, anywhere in the world.

It is important that you get into a regular habit of checking your e-mail since pertinent BOCES information will be directed to you through your e-mail account. 

If you are a new user, you must change your temporary password for privacy and security reasons.  The directions below will guide you through the logging on to your account as well as changing your password.

It’s recommended that you print this document first and then follow the steps below:

Ø Open your Web Browser, either Netscape or Internet Explorer

Ø Type http://wembley.neric.org in the "Address" field in Internet Explorer or "Location" field in Netscape Navigator and hit enter.

Ø Click on GWise Webmail 7 link on the left.

Ø Type your Username and Password in the appropriate fields and press the enter key or click on the Login button below.

Example :

Username: pcooper

Password: xxxxxxxx

Your User name is your fist Initial of your first name and the first seven characters of your last name. 

 

 

Ø From the GroupWise WebAccess main window, click on the word Options on the top right side next to Logout.

 

Ø Click on the Password Tab.

Ø Type your old password.

Ø Type your new password, then retype the new password to confirm it.

              Remember that your password is case-sensitive.

Ø Click Save.

When you change your password in GroupWise WebAccess, you change it for your GroupWise Mailbox. That means that you always use the same password to log in to your GroupWise Mailbox whether you are using GroupWise WebAccess or another version of the GroupWise client.
