WINDOWS:

HOW TO LOG INTO WINDOWS SIDE

When you want to log into any of the desktops that are in the SCIENCE domain (Science 311 lab computers, the desktop in your MH211 office, the cart laptops in classrooms), just enter your username and password.  Make sure the DOMAIN is SCIENCE.

 

Or you can append “@cs” to your username and then just enter your password. When you append "@cs" with your username, the DOMAIN dropdown list grays out because "@cs" already specifies your domain.

           

            Example:

            Login: example@cs

            Password: ******

 

NOTE: You will be prompted to change your password when you log in the first time into Windows.

 

 

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR WINDOWS PASSWORD AFTER FIRST TIME LOGIN

  1. Once you have logged into the Windows side, you can press the buttons Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
  2. Then click on "Change Password".
  3. Enter the necessary information. Now your password has changed.

 

NOTE: Your Windows account is separate from your UNIX account, so your Windows password is not the same as your UNIX password. When you later change your UNIX password, it can be different from your Windows password.

 

 

HOW TO LOCK YOUR COMPUTER

You can manually lock your computer every time you leave your office:

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
