CHOOSING & CHANGING ACCOUNT PASSWORDS


Smith's connection to the Internet provides us all with access to the world. Unfortunately, it also provides hackers with a connection they can use to try to invade Smith systems. Hackers typically enter a legitimate user name, then try to guess the password for that account. If you choose your password wisely and change it periodically, you are helping to protect your own data as well as the entire Smith network.

For information about Smith's default minimum security settings, please read the Account Security Guidelines.

For guidance on choosing a secure password, please read Safe Passwords.


Password-Protecting Your Computer Workstation

Even though your network files are protected by a Novell password, we strongly recommend setting a separate workstation password to protect your workstation from unauthorized access and add an additional level of security for your files.
