Chemical Engineering User Accounts

Your Default User Name and Password

The Chemical Engineering department maintains a set of user accounts separate from that of the University. In order to use many of the restricted services in the department you will need a user account in the department.

Accounts are automatically created for students when they join the department. All other users will have to request an account. Accounts can also be granted to non-university personnel on a case by case basis.

To request an account, please send email directly to Justin Dawber. Be sure to include your AndrewID (if you have one), First and Last Name, advisor, and position at the University. Once your account is create your username and password will take the following form:

Username: AndrewID

Password: *cheme*FL {F and L are First and Last initial}

Passwords

We strongly advice that you change your password as soon as possible once you receive your Chemical Engineering account.
There are two ways to do so:

• Change Your Password by Stopping by the Computer Cluster (Doherty Hall A226)
  Log in with your default username and password on one of the computers in the cluster. Once you have logged on hold down the ctrl-alt-delete buttons on your keyboard. A window should pop up with a "Change Password..." option. Click on this option and follow the instructions to change your password.

• Change Your Password through the Remote Desktop Connection
  If you have access to Remote Desktop Connection, you can also change your password by using this utility. Click on the start menu and then click on "Windows Security" (on bottom of the right panel, next to the yellow padlock icon). A window will pop up and one of the options listed will be "Change Password...". Click this option and follow the subsequent instructions to change your password.

Please Note: For security purposes, there are now restrictions on the format of passwords. All passwords must contain at least 9 characters, and have at least 3 of the following 4 features: lower case letters, upper case letters, numbers, and special characters.
