A gentle reminder about passwords

When you are first set up on the college's computer network, you have a standard password. While this password is unique to you, it's not going to take a Ph'D in cryptology to work out what it is. It is in your best interests to change your password as soon as possible, particularly if you use your college PC account to do any printing. An ideal password is long and has letters, punctuation, symbols, and numbers, but to be honest stick to something that you'll remember; use something that's memorable to you but not known by anyone else.
