Logging in

In Linux the procedure for obtaining an authorized use of the system is called ``logging in''. When you are on an workstation then you should have a login: prompt on the screen. If the screen is blank, move the mouse to obtain a login window. If there is no response, then the monitor may be turned off. In that case turn on the monitor. Enter your user name at the login: prompt and then enter your password at the password: prompt. Your password will not appear on the screen when typed.
