Using a Single Password with Windows '95
IntroductionWith the conversion of most office computers to Windows '95, an annoyance has been introduced with regards to passwords. Everyone with network access needs a password to get onto the network. In addition, Windows '95 requires users to have a password. Initially, these two passwords are the same, and logging onto the Stark network also allows you to get into Windows '95. However, most users have Stark network passwords that change periodically. Once the network password is changed, Windows '95 no longer recognizes your password (you just changed it), so you must use your old password to get into Windows '95. This document describes how to reset your system so that both passwords are the same.

To change your network password, select the START button and choose Run.... Selection of the RUN Command. A "Run" dialog box should appear. Type "SETPASS" to get into the network password program (which will appear in a DOS window), and follow the on-screen prompts. When you are done, you can close the Window by selecting the "X" box in the upper-right hand corner of the window. Running the SETPASS program.
