What is the combination code I need to open the doors to Computer Clusters?
All of the Computer Clusters have the same access code which you will need
to know in order to enter the labs. Periodically, this combination will
change. To get the new code, log onto any athena machine and at the prompt
type: tellme combo
You can access an athena prompt by either logging on remotely from your
computer or by using one of the many Quick Stations located around campus.
