You may use the PC’s in the student labs 1.51 (1^st Floor EECE North building) and G.01 (Ground floor of CWR building / EECE South building) to activate your student account.  If you need additional help then please see helpdesk: details are on the EECE student website (student.ee.uwa.edu.au).  You should activate your accounts at least the day before you need them for a lab, preferably at least two days so you can see help desk if you have any issues. Do not leave it to the last minute. There is a significant delay between activating your accounts and getting computer and internet access.

Use the activate account to log into the systems. On the Windows XP login screen

• type in activate as the username

• leave the password field blank

• ensure that the domain is EE-STUDENT

Once logged in, an internet explorer screen will automatically load up. You will see the following screen (https://swww.ee.uwa.edu.au/users).

Enter in your UWA student number and pheme password and click on the Login button.  You can always access this screen using your student number and pheme password so you can reset your EECE password at any time if you forget it.

Once you have logged in using your student number and pheme password the following screen will appear

Click on the click here link

You will then see a Terms and Conditions of Use Screen. Make sure you read the conditions of use. At the bottom of the conditions you will see the following:

Select the “I agree to the terms and conditions of use field”. You may only have access to the EECE computer systems if you agree to and comply with the conditions of use. Enter in your full name and click on the Activate Account button.

You will then see a screen similar to the following:

Choose a new password that:

• is at least 6 characters long and

• has at least 1 uppercase and 1 lowercase letter and

• has at least 1 number

Enter in your chosen password twice then click Change Password button. Make sure that you remember your username and EECE password. If you forget them you can access this system again to reset your EECE password.

Make sure the passwords entered match. If they do not match then your password will not be set and you will not be able to log on. To fix this change your EECE password again (choose the password option from the left)

You will then see a password changed screen. Once your account is activated and password changed, click on the logout button. You will find this button on the left side of the screen on the green navigational keys.

Next Log out of the Windows XP Activation account.

• press ctrl-alt-del (hold down the ctrl, alt and del (delete) keys at the same time)

• Choose logout.

You can now use your username and password to log into the Windows XP systems. It takes about 15 minutes for the changes you have made to propagate to the Unix systems. If you need additional help then please see helpdesk in G01 from 12 noon to 1pm during the first few weeks. See the EECE student WWW site for updates on helpdesk availabillity.

You should activate your accounts at least the day before you need them for a lab, preferably at least two days so you can see help desk if you have any issues. Do not leave it to the last minute. There is a significant delay between activating your accounts and getting computer and internet access.
