How to Change your
Password
(Windows
Users)
- Dial up EOS as
you normally would.
- Once connected
to EOS, launch your Telnet application from
/windows/telnet in Windows95. If you do not have a Telnet
application, please call EOS at 522-0011 for
assistance.
- To begin,
select "Remote System" from the Connect menu.
- A window will
appear. Type "eos.net" in the Host Name field, &
click on the Connect button. (the screens below are taken
from a Macintosh, but the same applies for
Windows)
- 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 Enter key.
- Type in your
current password, and then the Enter 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 Enter key to close your UNIX terminal
session, and then Quit the Telnet application.
