If your password is expired, and you've not changed it within the grace period, you'll have to email the EngSoc Technical Team to have it reset to your student number. When in doubt, try both your expired password, or your full student number as the password.

Using putty, or another ssh client, connect to "engsoc.carleton.ca".

Password: [enter your expired password here]

[This will return something like the following...]

You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
Changing password for [username]
(current) UNIX password: [again enter your expired password]

Enter new UNIX password: [enter a new password]
Retype new UNIX password: [enter it again to make sure you got it right]
