Changing password for ljs
Old Password:
When you have entered your current password correctly, the program prints
a SKEY challenge line. If you made a typing error the program quits and you
must restart it manually.
[s/key 97 ni48251]
Response:
In the example above, the program requests you to enter the passphrase number
97. The string "ni48251" isn't significant, it only identifies your SKEY user
profile and isn't used.
Now we look up the line number 97 and enter it. In our example the Response: line looks as follows:
Response: lob huh joey jill dank club
If you entered wrong SKEY password, the program will quit and you'll have to start all over again.
Now that you have authenticated yourself using SKEY password, the program asks
you to enter the new password twice. Your password must be eight characters long and it MUST contain at least one digit, a letter or a special character. Your
password may not be based on any known word (not to mention your girl- or boyfriend's name)...
Enter the new password (minimum of 8 characters)
Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
New Password:
Re-enter new password:
If you misspelled your password, the program asks you again to enter your new password twice.
Finally, after you have successfully changed your password the program prints the following lines:
