UNIX: Setting your password

Logging on

From 9th September 2024 you no longer need to set a separate password in order to log in to one of our Linux hosts. Instead you can just use your main Kent password. Please make sure to enter your username without the @kent.ac.uk part - for example, if your email is abc1@kent.ac.uk then enter your username as just abc1.

If you've forgotten your Kent password, or need any other assistance with your Kent account, then please contact helpdesk@kent.ac.uk. For any other queries logging in to our servers please contact:

cs-syshelp@kent.ac.uk
