Welcome!
This page will allow you to change your POP password. This is done simply by
logging into the POP server and picking a password. NOTE: You must
have a telnet client configured for your platform. If you do not have a
telnet client, please contact your local computer or network administrator
to obtain one.
If you would like to skip the instructions and move right along, click
here.
So, the next question in your mind must be: "What type of password do
I choose, and how do I do this?"
Picking a password
Here are the general rules to follow when picking a POP password:
- A minimum length of six characters or numbers.
- No dictionary words, regardless of language. Bad example: wizard
- Mix in at least one number and one upper-case letter.
- Do not use parts of your name (backwards or forwards).
- Avoid well-known words or phrases.
Here are some bad examples:
- wizard
- tea42 (Tea for two)
- thomas (my last name)
Here are some good examples: However, keep in mind that these are now BAD
examples because they appear here!
- 99ilTws (99 I Like Tea With Sugar)
- 7peN3caR
Changing your POP password

then be magically telnet'ed to the POP server. Once you see the login

John Doe. His POP account name is "jdoe".
