Your Novell Network Password on a Macintosh
Your Novell network password is the one you enter at the login box that
appears when you first start your computer. Staff members typically log
on to the ADMIN1, ADMIN2, or ADMIN3 server. Faculty members typically
log on to the HUMARTS, SOSCI, or SCIENCE server. Students log on to one
of the four student servers: STUDENT1, STUDENT2, STUDENT3, or STUDENT4.

your server from the Favorite Server List then click

on the Set Password button in the dialog box.

to login to the network for this session), then press Tab and type your
new password. When you are done, click OK. (Your password does not appear
on the screen.)
- A confirmation box appears, asking for verification. Retype your new password exactly as you entered it the first time, then click OK.
If
the network does not accept your new password, review the guidelines for
choosing safe and sexy passwords.
