For security, your password will not be displayed on the screen as you type it. If you have accessed the timesharing service successfully, the system messages will scroll by on your screen and the system prompt will appear. In most cases, they require no password. Private or pay services usually require a username and password, just as our local timesharing services do. These must be obtained by system administrators by phone or electronic mail requests.
Procedures vary from site to site.
