For security reasons, source.eecs.berkeley.edu is separate from the http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu web server.

If you remember your source.eecs.berkeley.edu password, then use ssh to log on to source.eecs.berkeley.edu and then run the passwd program. If you are under Windows, install a ssh client such as PuTTY

If you have forgotten your source.eecs.berkeley.edu password, then send email to webmgr at chess eecs berkeley edu and they will:

1. Become root with su -
2. Look up your username in /etc/passwd
3. Run passwd yourCVSUserName with a temporary password.
4. Email you the temporary password.

Then use ssh to connect to source.eecs.berkeley.edu to change your password by running the passwd command.
