Changing Gitlab Password

If on Mac, follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal. For Macs, this is in the "Utilities" folder in your "Applications" folder.
  2. Type ssh abc123@tux.cs.drexel.edu (where abc123 is your Drexel userID) and press enter
  3. Type in your password. Nothing will be shown.
  4. If successful, it will log you into Tux. This account is also used for Gitlab and various other CCI systems. If not, it will prompt you to enter the password again.
  5. Once you log in, if you’re using a password which was sent to you, type the command “passwd” and press Enter. It will ask for your current password, which you should type and then press Enter again. Then, it will ask for a new password twice. Again, press Enter once you’ve typed your password each time.

If on Windows, follow these steps:

  2. Type ssh abc123@tux.cs.drexel.edu (where abc123 is your Drexel userID) and press enter
