How to Change your passwords
The Crim network and Raven passwords are 'case sensitive' (e.g. password is not the same as PassWord). Information about choosing a good password can be found at: http://www.cam.ac.uk/cs/docs/infosheets/is6/.
Crim:
Log in to your account and press the keys Control, Alt and Delete together, then select the button 'Change password'. You will be prompted for your old and new passwords.
UIS Password (Raven, Hermes, Desktop Services (DS))
Use the UIS Password Management Application (https://password.csx.cam.ac.uk) to change the following types of password:
- UIS Password
- Raven
- Hermes
- Desktop Services
Note: If you still use separate passwords for Raven, Hermes and Desktop Services, changing any one of them using the UIS Password Management Application will replace them ALL with a single UIS Password.
Remote Access to PWF Linux
From a command prompt, login using SSH to 'linux.pwf.cam.ac.uk'. Type 'passwd' and follow the instructions. You will be prompted for your old and new passwords.
