PASSWORDS

Password and Account Protection

A user is given a username (also known as a login name) and associated password that permits her/him to access ASCI resources. This username/password pair may be used by a single individual only: passwords must not be shared with any other person. Users who share their passwords will have their access to ASCI disabled. Passwords must be changed as soon as possible after exposure or suspected compromise.

Forgotten Passwords

If you forget your password please contact the system administrator.

Passwords for New Users

New ASCI users will receive a temporary password which they must change on receiving.

How To Change Your Password

Once log on use the 'passwd' command to change your password.
