How do I change my CSE password?

Your CSE login and password are synchronized across various School of Computing (SoC) hosted Windows and Linux servers and a subset of SoC web application services. Changing your CSE synchronized password on one SoC system will change your password across all SoC systems.

With the introduction of the nuros.unl.edu and cse-linux-01.unl.edu servers offering access using UNL MyRed login credentials (e.g. jdoe2), you may not need CSE login credentials. These instructions apply to users with CSE login credentials and will have no effect on your MyRed login password settings.

From the Web: Log in to the School of Computing Account Management Utility (AMU) (https://cse.unl.edu/account) with your CSE account credentials and then clicking on the change password link from the navigation links on the left.

From Unix/Linux: To change the passwords on a Unix or Linux command line, open a terminal and login to your account. At the shell prompt enter the command "passwd". Enter your current CSE password and press enter, then enter your new CSE password when prompted.

Password Reset: If you do not remember your CSE password, you can still reset it from the web. Using your web browser, navigate to https://cse.unl.edu/reset_password and enter your huskers.unl.edu UNL email address. The Account Management Utility application will reset your password to a random value and email that new password to your huskers.unl.edu account.

Please take the time to select a good password. When you change your password, the system will reject any password that does not meet the following complexity requirement: A password much be at least seven characters long; a password must contain at least three of the following four character sets:  lowercase, uppercase, numbers and punctuations; a password cannot contain your login or your first or last names as part of the password.
