Getting Started with HP-UX
5-6
Password
HP-UX prompts you for a password if your site requires one. Respond to the
password prompt by entering your password. If you enter the correct password,
you will see a screen similar to Figure 5-3. If this is the first time you have logged
in and you do not see a screen similar to Figure 5-3, refer to “Creating, Changing
or Setting Your Password.”
NOTICE: Your password is not displayed on the screen in order to en-
sure its secrecy. If you make a typing mistake, press
< Return > and the “login:” prompt will return after display-
ing error messages. Now, re-enter your username.
Refer to “Creating, Changing or Setting Your Password” for more information re-
garding passwords.
