Changing a known password¶
1. Log in¶
If you have an account on Pelle, log in to Pelle.
If you have a SENS project only, using only Bianca, log in to Transit instead.
2. Open a terminal¶
When logged in to an UPPMAX cluster, open a terminal. If you've logged in via SSH, you are already in a terminal :-)
3. Set your own password¶
In that terminal, enter:
Now you will be asked to repeat the old password and set a new one!
Info
The password is not seen in the terminal, neither as characters nor * or similar.
- On Pelle your new password will work immediately!
- For Bianca the new password needs some time to sync (on Transit it will work immediately).
Resetting a forgotten password¶
1. Request the reset¶
Go to Request Uppmax Password Reset. After authenticating yourself, your password is reset immediately.
You will be sent an email in 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Open email¶
Open the email and go to the page it asks you to.
What does that email look like?
Your email will look similar to this:
Greetings,
a new password has been generated for your account at UPPMAX.
You can fetch it by visiting the link below.
Note though that the link is only valid for 7 days and one (1) visit.
You can retrieve the password at the following link (copy it to a web browser and remove the spaces):
suprintegration.uppmax.uu.se /fetchpwd?sum=hvs.CAESIHEbbZvU[many_more_characters]
If the password has expired, you can request a new password from our homepage https://docs.uppmax.uu.se and the link "Reset Password".
Note that if you requested a new password because your account was locked, it may take some additional time (up to an hour) before that change is reflected everywhere.
If you are unsure about what your user name is, this information is available in SUPR (https://supr.naiss.se/) under Accounts.
For general information about how to login, change your password and so on, please see our getting started guide at
https://docs.uppmax.uu.se/getting_started/get_started/#getting-started-first-login-to-uppmax
regards, UPPMAX Support
