Class Accounts in the Math Center are organized as follows.

Login Name or User Name Format
==============================

    User names have the format "c-xyfm" 

    x=last name, first letter
    y=last name, last letter
    f=first name, first letter
    m=middle name, first letter
      not used if you have no middle name

Examples: John David Smith ==> Smith John David  ==>  c-shjd
          Tyrel Fallah  ==>  Fallah Tyrel  ==>  c-fht

CORRECTIONS: Add one digit, 1,2,3, etc if the user name is rejected.
This is trial-and-error to find the login name. Examples:
        John David Smith  ==>  c-shjd or c-shjd1 or c-shjd2 [and so on]
        Tyrel Fallah  ==>  c-fht or c-fht1 or c-fht2 or c-fht3 [and so on]


Password
========

  The password assigned when your account was created was constructed by
  this algorithm:

  1. Strip the first two characters 'c' and '-' from the user name. 
     Strip all trailing digits from the user name.
     Use only three or four letters in the password.
     Example: c-shjd is converted to shjd
              c-shjd2 is converted to shjd 
              c-fht3 is converted to fht
 2. Append to the three or four letters obtained in step 1 the last four
    digits of your student ID number.
    Example: John David Smith has UofU ID Number u0XX3789, so he adds
             digits 3789 to "shjd" from step 1 to get the password
             shjd3789
    Example: Tyrel Fallah has UofU ID Number u0XX3789, so he adds
             digits 3789 to "fht" from step 1 to get the password
             fht3789

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

After login, open a terminal window from the START or LAUNCH menu button, or
a screen icon, or right-mouse-click on the desktop.

Example: To change the password for John David Smith [c-shjd]
          
         passwd c-shjd
                 
There will be three prompts: (1) enter old password, (2) enter new password,
(3) enter new password again.

Passwords must be 6 characters or more. Use upper and lowercase letters
and at least one digit and at least one non-alphabetic character.
