<p>Is there any limit in the password number of characters? I think I set onetoo large (+30) and now I have problems to log in. I am trying to change my password at <a href="https://wserv.mit.edu/fcgi-bin/cpw%5B/url%5D">https://wserv.mit.edu/fcgi-bin/cpw</a> but it keeps saying my password is incorrect. Any ideas? How can we reset our passwords? Help please, I would not like to wait till fall to visit IST and reset my password</p>
<p>Did you use any extended ascii characters? Are you using Kerberos or SSL?</p>
<p>If you really need to change your password, you can try this:
download PuTTY from <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/putty/download.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html</a> and connect to athena.dialup.mit.edu , then use your username and password to login. Once you're in, type 'passwd' and it will allow you to change your password.</p>
<p>You can also connect to Athena through your web browser, <a href="http://athena.dialup.mit.edu/ssh.html%5B/url%5D">http://athena.dialup.mit.edu/ssh.html</a>, or using SecureCRT, <a href="http://web.mit.edu/software/win.html%5B/url%5D">http://web.mit.edu/software/win.html</a>.</p>
<p>Thank you vey much for your help. I changed my password successfully.</p>
<p>i set up my mit email a month ago and have sent several messages via webmail. i try to search for the messages i sent but found nothing in my "webmail-sent" folder; anybody knows how to save each messages i sent through webmail?</p>
<p>You have to click the checkbox that says "Save a copy in <foldername>" -- it's the first checkbox under the to/from stuff.</foldername></p>
<p>If you want to save your sent emails, you could also consider downloading one of the email programs from the MIT</a> software distribution page. Thunderbird is good.</p>
