Using the CSS Password Tools
What the Password Tools Do
The password tools allow you to
change or reset your password, unlock your account, and enroll so that you can
use the reset and unlock functions.
Enroll
To use the reset command that allows you to change your password
without knowing your current password or to unlock your account, you must enroll.
Enroll by supplying answers to several pre-written questions. Then
when you use the reset or unlock function, the password system selects some
of the questions you selected. You must respond to the questions exactly as
you did when you enrolled. Be conscious of how you do or do not capitalize your
responses.
Reset
Use reset to change your engineering
account password without knowing your current password. To confirm your identity the password tools system
presents you with questions from among those you answered when you enrolled. You must respond with the
exact answer you used when you enrolled. You can reset your password any time,
including before its 180-day life ends.
Unlock
If you try to login to your account and mis-enter your password 15 times in
15 minutes, your account is locked. Use this tool to unlock your account.
You must have enrolled and answer the presented questions correctly. You must
respond with the exact answer you used when you enrolled.
Change
If you know your account password and want to change it, use the Change tool.
You do not need to enroll to use Change. Your account password must be changed
every 180 days, but can be changed more often using this function.
