How To Change Your Password
Important: This is for the new CAC cluster Frontenac only. This is only relevant if you have "migrated" to the new system. If you wonder whether you have, you probably haven't. You will receive an email when you are scheduled to move.
Changing your password when logged inThe standard way to change the password is through a login terminal. This is done from caclogin01. The command to use is "passwd": $ passwd Changing password for user. (current) LDAP Password: New password: Retype new password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. $ Please note that the password entry will not appear on the screen, so it may appear that there is no response. Just continue to type in the passwords. If the two entries match a response will be issued. Re-setting a new password when you have forgotten itIf you have forgotten your password and can't login to the system, you need to re-activate your account. Visit this link and enter your username and email address. Note that the email address must be the one we have on record for you. The system will send you an email with a link. Click on the link, and you will be presented with a temporary password which you can use to log in at login.cac.queensu.ca. The system will force you to change the password immediately, then log you out. Login again with the new password. |
