It's very important that you choose a "good" password even if you think "I don't have any important things on the computer." By having a "weak" password, you are compromising the security of other users and the network as a whole. If someone were to crack your password, they gain an entry point to not only your account but the entire network. When choosing a password, consider these guidelines: Your password must be between 6 and 8 characters. Intermix upper and lower case letters. Consider using numbers as part of your password. Consider using symbols such as ` ~ . , ! @ # $ % ^ & < > ? " + - _ = ; : { } [ ] Don't use a word/phrase based on your name or login name. Don't choose a word/phrase that can be found in a dictionary. Don't use a dictionary word/phrase with symbol(s) added in. To change your password, follow this link to the Account Maintenance Page.
