Establishing Your Password Using a PC

The detailed way for first time users


Well, neither the PC Guru nor I could figure out how to take screen shots while not logged onto a PC machine, so I'm gonna try and make this simple without the aid of pictures. Please bear with me

Step 1:
Hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE to bring up the Novell Client log in window.

If you already see the Start button on the bottom left corner,

that means someone's already on the machine. If you're sure they're not coming back, go ahead and log them out.

"Why should I do that?" you may be asking yourself. See Step 5: Logging off.

Step 2:
Enter your user name. Your user name is the same as the first part of your Bruin Online account. For example, if my email is joebruin@ucla.edu, I would put joebruin as my log in name.

Step 3:

If this is your first time logging onto a PC at the CDA for the current quarter, or you don't have a password yet, or it was reset by the administrator, leave the password section blank, don't put anything.

If this isn't your first time and you have a password, go ahead and enter it and click on OK.

Step 4:

You will be told to change your password. Keep the Old Password line blank. Enter a new password and retype to confirm. After that you should be ready to rock and roll. The password should be between 5-8 characters. It should include numbers and letters, but cannot contain the '@' symbol.

If you get a "Windows NT Workstation" window asking you to change your Windows NT password, click on Cancel. You'll just make more problems for yourself. This is how you fix it.

Click on Cancel in the Windows NT Workstation window. Click on the Advanced button on the main log in window. Then click on the Windows NT tab. On the From: pulldown menu, select CDA1. Then go ahead and click on OK.

You should be happy-go-lucky logged on now.

Step 5:

Always log off when you're all done. All classes taught in the CDA have their own folders. These folders can only be accessed by the students and staff enrolled in those classes. Vice versa, students can only access their class folders. You won't be able to "see" another class folder. If you come across a machine that's
already logged on, chances are you won't be able to get to your class folder that has your work on it. Got it?
