   // This page was primarily designed for inclusion where appropriate,
   // but might work well stand-alone, especially with the careful
   // use of the STARTINCLUDE and STOPINCLUDE "variables" which
   // allow a header and footer, although not generalized creation
   // of differences in included and non-included forms.
   // (Actually IncludeSponsorResourcesAccountsClient was stolen from
   // something lfolland had written).
   //
   // Note the line after header after  STARTINCLUDE. 
   // The CFADRIANGADGETINCLUDE variable renders as a link which 
   // makes it easy for a reader to get to the inclusion to edit it,
   // although the rendered presentation does not seem fully intuitive yet.

<!-- Note: we should generalize this from "core environment" -->
<!-- Note: Now we need to make sure the specific cases needed are clear -->
Once an account has been created
or if someone forgets their password,
the password for the account must be (re)set.

<!--
That must be done by logging into a machine where the account has been
created.

For the example of the core environment,
that must actually be done by logging in to any of the core.cs Unix systems
*except for core.cs itself* (due to a software problem)

For example
   <pre>
   ssh cpu102.cs
   </pre>
and running the "password" command, e.g.
   <pre>
   password +r <em>TheUserid</em>=
   </pre>
That will generate a random password for =<em>TheUserid</em>=.
Give the password to the person owning the userid,
or their "point of contact".
Suggest that the password should be changed as soon as possible.
Users will usually want to do that, as the password is hard to remember.

For the student.cs Unix systems, you must choose a machine other
than *student.cs*.
Additionally the chosen machine must be running the *Solaris* operating
system.  Therefore use...
   <pre>
   ssh cpu-solaris.student.cs
   </pre>
-->

<!--
For older regions such as *ai0.uwaterloo.ca*, *softbase.cs* (which includes
*ds1,cs*) the named regional server can be used.
-->
For most systems, arrangements will need to be made to set the
*CS-GENERAL* Active Directory password.

<!--
<em>
Note that only users in group *accounts* can change other users' passwords
in this manner.
</em>
