How to request computer account for students (information for teachers).
Read about configuring and using UpUnet-S e-mail.
Here follow answers to certain common questions concerning your computer account. Make an effort to read them through, and save this document for future reference.
To obtain assistance using our computers, you should normally use the support request web form. You can there learn how to submit a support request in 30 seconds.
If the web form is unavailable to you, and you can't find a solution to your problem by reading our Frequently Asked Questions page (perhaps because you can't even log in), please visit the system manager in building 4, floor 1, room 4118b. In order to obtain a new password for your account, you must bring a valid ID card.
You have already received, or will soon receive, a username and a total of four passwords; three in an envelope (UpUnet-S, may be delivered to your home by mail) and one on a separate sheet of paper. The three passwords in the envelope are designated A, B and C respectively, while the one on the separate piece of paper is designated password X. Password A is used for logging in to the student portal and for connecting from home via student dormitory broadband. Password B is used for reading e-mail, among other things. Password C is used for logging in to Microsoft Windows computers in rooms 1312, 1313 and 2315. Password X is used in our unix labs.
The passwords A, B and C belong to an account, administered by IT and Procurement, and is known as your UpUnet-S account. If you haven't received this account or if you have forgotten some of the passwords (A, B or C) you have to contact IT and Procurement at Polacksbacken, building 3. To obtain a new password X, visit the system manager in building 4, floor 1, room 4118b.
You may create your own public web pages, with http://user.it.uu.se/~username/ for an address. Put the code for your first page in a file named index.html in your public_html subdirectory to your home directory on our Unix systems.
Everybody receiving an account will have to file an application for it. Leave the form you received (probably together with the document you are now reading), filled out and signed, either to your teacher or to the system manager in charge.
