There are three possibilities for changing your email password:
1.
If you do not know your current password:
If you do not know your current password you'll need
to call MIS (392-9217) and ask to have your email password
changed. We will set a temporary password so that you
can change your password to something you want using
one of the methods below.
2.
If you know your current password (webmail):
Open a web browser and login to the Engineering webmail client
(
http://webmail.eng.ufl.edu). Once logged in, select the
Options link in the top menu (#1, figure one). Once at
the Options screen select the Change Password link
(#2, figure one). You will need to enter your old password and
new password twice to change your password. NOTE: This process sometimes has problems changing
passwords that use punctuation. If you have problems please
contact MIS.

If you know your password (Eudora)
From the Special (#1, figure two), choose Change
Password... (#2, figure two). You will be guided through
the process by several dialog boxes that ask for your current
password and new passwords.
NOTE: This option is only available from your Engineering
Administration workstation in Weil Hall.
These instructions are for Engineering administrative
workstations that have the Novell NetWare client installed:
1.
Once you are successfully logged into the
workstation press
the following three keys at the same time: Ctrl-Alt-
Del. When this is done you'll see the Network
Security popup window (example to the right).
2.
On the Netware Security popup, click the
Change Password button located at the bottom of the
window.
3.
Once the Change Password button is
clicked you will see the Change Password popup window
(example to the right).
4.
Insure that all resources are highlighted (the
top one will by your machine's name and the second one will be
the engineering tree). By highlighting all resources,
the passwords for each resource will be changed and kept the
same, or in sync.
5.
Once you have filled in the Old Password,
New Password, and Confirm New Password form
fields click the OK button.
6.

message in a popup: Passwords for all selected resources
were successfully changed
