Change in Guest Computer Log In

Effective Monday August 8, the guest computers will no longer use passwords but will be permanently logged into the Internet, just as the express computers in the lobby are.  There will be a log in sheet at the reference desk for people to sign in to using their name, the date and login/out times.  This way we can track the  patron's time online and, can ask them to relinquish their seat after an hour (if someone is waiting), or sooner if they are not doing any actual research.

Password Reset

When you get the dreaded password warning during workstation log in (or find that you can't get into iSpartan), you will not only have to do the reset online <http://reset.uncg.edu>. You will also have to go to ERIT and reset your password for the library servers. This cannot be done online.

passwords for guest computers

Just in case they are needed, passwords for the guest computers change every Monday. ERIT adds a text file to the Q drive - it's normally the last file, not in a folder but just at the end of all the folders, called PatronPWs.txt. I normally discard any passwords with a zero or letter O - it's just too hard to tell those apart and if any others look too hard to type, you are welcome to pitch them, we receive more than we ever need.
