Changing
your password (Telnet) |
NB:
Lithgow
& Blues Mountains LiSP members please
change your password HERE
(If
Lithgow & Blues Mountains LiSP members use the method
below you will not be able to access your account)
It
is recommended that you change your password at least once
every four weeks, but this is entirely upto you. If you have
forgotten your login password, we cannot possible retrieve
that password, because when you change it, sunny, automatically
encrypts it into UNIX form, which is only readable by the
machine itself. You can select a new password, by contacting
your local LiSP
Office,
they will be able to assist you.
In
this tutorial, you will learn how to change your password.
You will need a telnet application. If you use Windows 95,
you don't have to worry, because you already have one. You
can find a telnet application at TUCOWS.
Microsoft
Windows 95
Click on
the Start Menu and select Run. Type in telnet sunny.lisp.com.au

Once
you are connected to LiSP with your telnet application, you
will be prompted for your login. Type your login in and you
will be prompted for your current password. You will need
to type that password in again. Select a new password.
Passwords
must contain at least two alphabetic characters and at least
one numeric or special character. To verify, type that password
in again. Your Password is now changed. Your Mail Program
and FTP Program, will need to be re-configured if you store
your password with them.
