• Dial up EOS as you normally would.

• Once connected to EOS, launch your Telnet application. If you do not have a Telnet application, you can download it from the University of Illinois.

• NCSA Telnet does not initially open a window. To begin, select "Open ConnectionÉ" from the File menu.

• A "dialog box" will appear. Type "eos.net" in the Host/Session Name field, & click on the Connect button.

• A "terminal" window will appear, and the Sun Sparcstation at EOS will prompt you for your user name & also your password.
  
• Once you have supplied your correct user name & password, you will be able to run any available command from the UNIX operating system. The command you will be using is called "passwd", which of course changes your password.

• Type in the command "passwd", and then the Return key.

• Type in your current password, and then the Return key. If you make a mistake, go back to step 7.

• Type in your new password. You will need to make the new password at least 6 characters, and it should be different than your current password.

• The system will ask you to re-enter your new password to make sure you typed it correctly.

You're done! Type "exit" and then the Return key to close your UNIX terminal session, and then Quit the Telnet application.
