Changing Passwords
Using Better Telnet
|
- Click on the
Mac HD
- Open Applications
- Open Internet
Applications
- Open Better
Telnet by double clicking on it.
- Go to file
and pull down to open connection
- In the server box, type in cuip.uchicago.edu
- Click connect
- At the login prompt, type your
username and press enter (or return)
- At the password prompt, type in
your password and press return
- You should see something like
this: mmarks@cuip:~>
- At the cursor, type passwd
( this is the command to change your password)
- At the "(current) unix password"
prompt retype your existing password.
- At the "new user password"
prompt, type in a new password
- Retype the new password
- If successful, you will see this
message: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully
(Okay, it worked! It might instead
tell you the two times you entered the new password they did not match, so you
would start again; or it might reject your choice of new password and explain
how to make it more suitable -- again, not too hard to recover from, just try
again.)
mmarks@cuip:~> exit (I've got no other tasks to deal with right now, so I
type the exit command to end the session.)
