A user asks -- how do I change my Network Password?

Answer:

Every two months you will need to reset your Novell InternetWare Password for security reasons. When changing your password there are some things that you need to remember:

• Your password can not be one that you've used in the past. The system will prompt you that you have used that password.
• The password must be five or more characters long. The system will prompt you if it's too short.
• Be unique. Try to stay away from using names of pets and family members. Also stay away from using your user ID. Use a series of numbers, letters, and symbols for your password.
• Remember your new password once you have changed it.

When you receive this screen you must change your password.
Click the Yes button.

The Change Password screen is displayed.

This is where you actually change your password.

1. Type your new password in the Enter new password box.
2. Press the [TAB] key located on the left side of the keyboard, above the [CAPS LOCK] key (or use the mouse and click in the Retype new password box).
3. Retype your new password.
4. Click OK button.
   
   

You will now receive the Windows Password screen prompting you to change your Windows 95 password.

You can click on Cancel button when you receive this screen. Optionally you can type in a new password.

1. Leave the "Old password" box blank.
2. Press the [TAB] key to go to the "New password" box and type in a password. The password should be the same as your Novell InternetWare Password to save on confusion.
3. Press the [TAB] key once again to retype the password.
4. Press the [ENTER] key.
