Passwords

When you activated your account at the university you received a password called A. In your user profile you can also create a second password for your university account. This is called password B.

Password A is used to log in to the Student portal, eduPrint and to read email. Password B is used for connecting to the wireless network Eduroam.

To log in to the computer labs use password A. To be able to use the Linux labs (the Linux system) a separate account needs to be created but you use password A. The account is normally created at the beginning of the education/ course but can also be requested in room 102195 in building 10 at Ångström.

If you have forgotten password A you can reset it on the university activation page
