We made a change in our security polices and have told the campus they must change their password. After 2 weeks of communications in every form imaginable (even including door hangers in residential halls), roughly 50%-60% of faculty and staff have changed their password and roughly 20% of students have. We've decided to give a deadline; if the password hasn't been changed by that date, the "must change at next logon" gets set (this hasn't been communicated yet, so the slackers aren't relying on it).

Hello Everyone - I was looking to get an idea as to how successful a recommended password change broadcast is (to the entire school population)? Perhaps a percentage, such as -- last time we sent a broadcast out recommended a password change, with instructions on how to change your password, less than 1% of passwords were actually changed?
