Setting Your Vetstar Password - Detailed Instructions

Every six months, your password will expire and you will be required to create a new one. The Vetstar server will prompt you to change your password at that time. Following are the command prompts you will see, followed by a description of what you will enter (INSTRUCTIONS ARE TYPED IN ITALICS)

login: ENTER YOUR VETSTAR LOGIN
Password: ENTER YOUR CURRENT PASSWORD
Choose a new password.
Enter existing login password: ***REENTER YOUR CURRENT PASSWORD***
New password: ENTER YOUR NEW PASSWORD
Re-enter new password: REENTER YOUR NEW PASSWORD

Hints:
• The password must be at least 7 characters long, contain a mix of letters and numbers, and cannot contain a word (forward or backward).
• You need to enter your current password after you have logged in, and again before you enter the new password (you enter it twice).
• If you make a mistake, use the Delete key to backspace (or start over by pressing Ctrl/U). If you fail to enter your password correctly 3 times, your session will end. Close the telnet Window and start over.
• If you have forgotten your password or need help, please contact vetstar-help@cvm.uiuc.edu and someone will assist you.
