Use the command passwd to change your password. Your newly selected password will be checked to insure it is not easily guessable. Passwords that can be guessed easily will not be accepted. Please read the password document on how to select a secure password.
Even though we test passwords before allowing them to be used, periodically during the semester a password cracker is run to test the security of our system. If your password is cracked, you will not be allowed to log into your account until you visit to the techie on duty to change your password.
