Logging in for the First Time
When you login for the first time on the CSE IN system you will need to change your password. You should select a password that is not easily guessed by others. If you choose a password that is easily guessed, your account may become locked during the course of the semester and you will need to have the managers reset your account.

Files that are saved locally on individual workstations are not under the control of the CSE IN system and will be deleted periodically. Therefore, it is important to make sure that you are saving your work to you home directory.
Account Backup
Your accounts are backed up hourly, daily, and weekly. So if you accidentally delete a file, the sooner you try to recover it the more likely you are to obtain a version similar to the one you were working on. If you need to recover a file that you deleted, ask a TA or your instructor for assistance.
