The following steps will explain how to change the password for the user currently logged into the machine (even the Administrator, which does not have a password assigned by default). Don't forget the Administrator password, or you will not be able to install software or perform other administrator tasks on this machine!
-
While logged in to Windows press (Ctrl) (Alt)(Delete) simultaneously and select Change Password.
-
Type in your current password in the Old Password text box and then type in your new password in both the New Password and Confirm New Password text boxes. (Your password won't be displayed as you type; asterisks will be displayed instead.)
Remember, if you change the password for your machine, you should change your Onyen password to keep them synched. For more information about managing your Onyen, go to the [ http://onyen.unc.edu ] Onyen page.
