When the System Administrator originally creates your account on the CALSNet a password is automatically assigned. This is just a temporary password and should be changed as soon as possible.

2. Click the Connect button or and type in your Novell username.

3. Click the Options button or shortcut icon, then Change Password.

4. Type in your old password, then type in a new password, then retype the new password following our Novell password guidelines of:

  • Length needs to be at least 5 characters
  • Should not be your first or last name
  • Should not be your temporary password
  • Should not be easily guessed

5. Click the OK button when finished. You will then be redirected to the logon screen
