Changing your password

One of the first things you will want to do is to change your password. The Linux systems will be using the Windows username and apssord from 2014.

Windows

At any time press the key combination ALT+Ctrl+DEL to open a window and form it choose Change Password. Changing the password on one PC, changes it for all PCs.

UNIX

For existing users who are using a separate Linux username /password. Use the command:-

yppasswd

In each case you have to give your new password twice as passwords are not displayed and it would be easy to mistype it once and lock yourself out of your own account!
