LOGIN NAME. Your login name is the same as the one you use for your other University accounts (e.g. MySiNet).
LOGIN PASSWORD. Your password is the same as the one you use for your other University accounts. To ensure our central data area will map to H: you may need to reset your password again. You can set your new password be the same as your old password, if you like (ie., no change); but you need to do this to update the password at ITS so that your account on this lab is recognised. If you are a first year student you should not need to change your password.
NOTE: If you can’t login reset your password, if you can’t map H: reset your password.
CHANGING PASSWORD. You are be able to use computers in room 542 in the Priestley Building (67) to change your password. Log into these computers and run Internet Explorer. Instructions on logging in are on the computers. You will not be able to access your personal disk space on the system server or print files on these computers.
Go to https://uqconnect.net/password to update your password.
NOTE: It can take up to 15 minutes for a password change to take full affect.
LOGGING IN. Enter your username and password at the prompt: logon to: KRB5.UQ.EDU.AU
If you get a window popup titled “PAS Client Tool” containing the text “Attempt to retrieve User ID unsuccessful. User may not exist in the database. Please contact your administrator” then close it. It just means you have not printed anything yet, the printing account is separate from your login account and will be automatically created the first time you print.
WORKING DIRECTORY. When you log in, you should be able to access your University provided personal user space in the H: directory. If this is not visible then double click on the icon MAP STUDENT DRIVE on the computer desktop. This will map your University provided personal user space. This means any files you save here can be accessed via MyFiles link at https://my.uq.edu.au
SAVING FILES. You can save files in your University provided personal user space H:, according to your quota, or on a USB memory stick. All computers in the labs have USB ports on the front or back. The USB memory stick will be E: on most computers.
LOGGING OUT. It is very important that you log out when you have finished and saved your work. To do this, click on the START button at the lower left of the screen and select Shut Down, then Log Off from the menu. Answer Yes to the prompt for completely logging out. Failing to logout properly could result in someone using all your printing credit, using all your download quota, modifying files in your University provided personal user space or other malicious activities in your name.
