Your New Laptop
Things You Need To Know About Your New Laptop
When you receive you new computer, the first thing you will need to do is log in. You will see the following on your screen:
Press Ctrl, Alt, Delete to start
Once you press Ctrl, Alt, Delete, you will come to a login screen where you will need to supply the following:
Username: <your bulldog username>
Password: letgomyeggo
Log on to: underdognet
When you get to your desktop, change your password in the following way:
Press Ctrl, Alt Delete
In the Security dialog box that appears, click on the “Change Password” button.
In the Change Password dialog box, supply the following:
Old Password: letgomyeggo
New Password: <your bulldog password>
Confirm New Password: <repeat your bulldog password>
Important Note: ITS is attempting to simplify logins by synchronizing passwords and accounts. Ideally you should use Netterm to connect to Bulldog and to change your password. Once you change your Bulldog password, within 25 minutes, your Campus Pipeline and underdognet (Windows logon) passwords will also change. Coming soon will be a web interface where you can change these passwords.
Updates
Your computer is set up to get Microsoft security updates and antivirus updates automatically. You may see your antivirus installing after you first turn on your computer, and you may experience a little slow down when working while security updates are downloading. Occasionally you may be asked to restart your machine. This is normal, but if you notice slow performance on a more permanent basis or blue screens indicating errors, please let us know by calling the main office at 6445.
CD-RW
Your computer comes with a CD writer. Use the Sonic Record Now software to write to CDs. With your computer, you receive a spindle of CD-Rs. You should use your CD writer to backup your data. Please let us know if you need help in using this.
We hope that you enjoy your new computer. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at extension 5013. If I am not available, call Cathy Joyner at 6445. She can either help or find someone who can.
