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.
