Logging In

To log in you may enter the user name guest and an empty password. When using the guest account all data is wiped and unrecoverable when you log out. Another option on the desktop computers in labs and the JRR is to log in with your UW-Madison NetID and password. When logging in using this method data is stored on the computer locally and may be available the next time you log in. Do not count on data being saved though as the computer drives are cleared occasionally to free up space.
