Changing
Your Password for Your Unix Account |

The public
pages for on-line courses are published on a Unix machine. Your user name
is the identical to your WebCT ID; however, your passwords are not. Your
default password on the machine where your public pages reside (student.ccbcmd.edu)
is a randomly generated, eight character password that is easy to forget.
If You Forget Your Password: If you forget your Unix
password, please contact Don Stitz by phone (410-455-4513) or by email
to have it reset.

that is more user-friendly:
