How to change your password - If you know your password and want to change it, then type the following command while logged in: passwd This will ask you for your old password, and ask you to type in the new password twice. Your new password takes effect immediately. (If you want to exit without changing your password, type Ctrl-c.) You may also change your password using a web browser at: http://wserv.mit.edu/cpw If you are on a Mac or Windows machine, and have the MIT Kerberos Utilies installed, you may change your password using that utility. For more information on this method, please contact the Computing Help Desk at x3-1101 or computing-help@mit.edu - If you have forgotten your password or get the message "Password incorrect" when you try to login, you can come to N42 (front desk) during these hours: Mon, Wed, Fri 2PM-5PM Tues and Thurs 9AM-12 Noon Please remember to bring some form of photo ID. Users who can't stop by N42 during those hours should call the accounts consultants at x3-1325 or send mail to "accounts@mit.edu". If you have forgotten your password, but you have a valid MIT Personal Certificate on your machine, you may change your password using a web browser at: http://wserv.mit.edu/cpw Because your MIT Personal Certificate can now be used to change your password, it is imperative that you protect it with its own certificate password, in the event that your computer is stolen. For more information on how to do this, please see: http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/certificates/ Last Updated: $Date: 2005/06/29 14:53:47 $ |
