	# SSH to ~~net~~.cs.earlham.edu and sudo to root using command: <tt>sudo su - </tt>		# SSH to auth.cs.earlham.edu and sudo to root using command: <tt>sudo su - root</tt>
	# cd to folder /root/ldap-files		# cd to folder /root/ldap-files
	# ~~Modify the chg-pw.ldif file by replacing the~~ <tt>~~uid=previousUsername~~</tt> to <tt>~~uid=userName~~</tt>		# Run this command: <tt> python3 change-pass.py -u userName</tt>
	~~# Run this~~ command: <tt> ~~ldapmodify~~ -~~f chg-pw.ldif~~ -D "cn=~~admin~~,dc=cs,dc=earlham,dc=edu" -W -x </tt>		# The user will receive an email with their new password, which they can use to login to Bowie. In Bowie, the user can change it using command <tt>passwd</tt>. The user will need to enter the password they just received in their email before entering their preferred password.
	# Enter the LDAP password for CS when prompted
	# ~~The~~ password ~~when trying~~ to ~~ssh to userName@home.cs.earlham.edu will be 123.abc (default). The~~ user ~~can change it using command <tt>passwd</tt>~~		After running the python command, you should be able to see the user's new generated password that was sent to them through email at /root/ldap-files/tmp/change-pass.ldif.
	# ~~Test~~ the ~~new~~ password ~~by trying to ssh~~ to the ~~machine as the userName using the default password~~.
			In case the script has errors, you can reset password by running: <tt>ldappasswd -x -D "cn=manager,dc=cs,dc=earlham,dc=edu" -W -S "uid=userName,ou=people,dc=cs,dc=earlham,dc=edu"<tt>
			# Replace userName before running
			# Enter the LDAP password for CS when prompted (ask if you don't know)
			# Enter a temporary password you can give to the user
			# Once done, let the user knows their temporary password and that they can change to their preferred one like the instruction above.
