Logging in to a UNIX system requires two pieces of information:

• A username,
• and a password.

When you sit down for a UNIX session, you are given a login prompt that looks like this:
login:

• Type your username at the login prompt, and press the return key. The system will then ask you for your password. When you type your password, the screen will not display what you type.
• The first thing you should do is change your password, using the passwd utility.
