UB IT Password Policy

Initial Password
(Updated 8.10.1999)
Overview
Each UB IT account is associated with a personal password. A password protects your UB IT account, files and disk space. Passwords should kept secret and if you suspect that someone has discovered it thne you should change it immediately.
Standard
The initial password for your UB IT account is based on the following algorithm:
mmdd of your birthday followed by last 6 digits of your UB Card number* Example: if a person's birthday is February 13th, and the last 6 numbers of the UB Card number are 999999, the password would be 0213999999.
*The UB Card number is located under your photo and begins with 5081.
Passwords should be changed the first time the account is used, and then every three to six months thereafter.
