====== CS Account Password ======

You now have only one username and password to log into CS computer systems.  There is no longer a separate password for Linux and Windows systems.  This account has the same username as your NetBadge account, however it has a different password.

===== Changing Your Password =====

==== From the Web ====

Use our new [[https://www.cs.virginia.edu/PasswordReset|Password Reset Page]] to reset your CS account password

==== From Linux/Windows ====

If you have a Windows desktop, you can change your password by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del and select "Change Password".

Otherwise the simplest way to change your password is to log in to one of our Linux servers and run the command ''%%passwd%%'' from your shell.

<code>
ktm5j@portal01 ~ $ passwd
Changing password for user ktm5j.
Current Password: 
New password: 
Retype new password: 
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
</code>

To log in to a Linux server from Windows, you must first obtain an SSH (secure shell) client.

See this article on [[windows_ssh|Windows SSH clients]] for more information.
