To make a long story short, over the summer we installed a new Email server with a new operating system. So there is a new method to changing your Email password. Here it is.

Note: For this method you must know your current password.

Overview:

You'll need to run a telnet session to mail.amphi.com, login, use Pine to change your password, logout.

Details:

1. Click on your Start button on your Windows Desktop.

2. Select Run.

3. Type telnet in the text box to the right of the word Open:

4. Click OK

5. When the Telnet window appears, select Connect.

6. Select Remote System.

7. In the Host Name box type in mail.amphi.com

8. Select Connect.

9. Login with your Email name and current password.

10. When the Pine application window appears, press the Enter key on your keyboard.

11. Select S for setup.

12. Select N for New password.

13. Enter your current password.

14. Ok, here is the hard part. Next you'll be prompted to enter a new password. Your Email password must now be 6 characters or more, cannot be a real word or name and should contain a combination of numbers, and upper and lower case letters. If you enter a password the system doesn't like, it will tell you. If you fail to please the system 3 times, you'll get bounced back to step #11 on this list. You can start again.

If you are successful you will go back to the main menu.

15. Select Q to quit.

16. Enter a Y to tell it you REALLY want to quit.

17. You may get a little box saying the connection to the host was lost. Select OK.

18. Go to Connect and select Exit.

If you don't know what your password is, please contact your site secretary if you are admin/support or the tech coach if you are a teacher or instructional staff. They will Email the necessary information to me and I will make the change for you as the system administrator.

Good luck!
