Changing username or password
« on: March 05, 2007, 02:34:19 AM »
Is there a way to change your own user name OR password for your computer?
At school, we are all assigned a certain username and password but my friend said he changed his to something a long the lines of leprechauns and its like 15 letters long.
My other friend changed his login name to 'google' and a 2 letter password when the username is supposed to be [year group][last name][first name] (e.g. 09doejo, john doe being his name) and the password is 5 characters....

Talk to school IT person. I'm sure he will show you how it's done.  ::)

We don't help with hacking the school computer on this forum, but I am sure there are plenty of others that do.

You can't change your username normally, but your password can be changed via Ctrl-Alt-Del.
May be a good idea to leave it if that's what you're supposed to do, though I don't see why you shouldn't change your password.
