Passwords - Acorn computer econet level 2/3 User Manual

When logging on, you may have to specify the file server you
want to log on to. You will have to do this if your network has
more than one file server, or if your file server has a different
station number from the one Econet expects.
Type: *1 AM <number><identifier> [RETURN]
Your network manager will tell you exactly what number to
type.

Passwords

You can choose a password for yourself, which you type in when
logging on. This makes it impossible for other users who don't
know your password to log on using your identifier, and so gain
access to your files. Your password can be up to six characters
long, and can include letters and numbers. It is important not to
tell any other user what your password is — and to avoid
passwords that would be easy for other users to guess.
To set your password, log on, and
type: *PASS " " <your password>[RETURN]
From now on, you will have to give your password whenever
you log on, by
typing *I AM <identifier><password>[RETURN]
EXAMPLE
Type: *I AM ROBERT ACORN[RETURN]
You may be able to prevent your password appearing on the
screen (where people looking over your shoulder might see it) by
going through this procedure:
Type: *1 AM <identifier> :[RETURN]
<password>[RETURN]
Your password will not appear as you type it in.
