The password for all three logins is the same.

In the computer suite, you have the option of changing your password (after logging in, press the key combination: “CTRL+ALT+DEL” and “Change password”).
If you change the password, remember that the newly selected password will apply to the other logins as well.

Passwords can be reset only in person with presentation of a student ID (Güntzstraße, room 231)
