Bhima Login Password Reset/Update

There are 2 ways that you can update/reset the bhima login password

1. Using SSH 

• Log in to Your Account
  Use the following credentials to access your account:
  Username: username@bhima.ncra.tifr.res.in
  Password: Use the password that was shared with you via email.

• First Login Behavior
  During your first login, the system may prompt you to update the password. If this happens, you will be required to enter:

  • The current password (the one provided to you via email)
  • A new password of your choice (ensure it meets the password policy requirements).

  This is a default process to ensure account security.

• Manual Password Update
  If the system does not prompt for a password update upon the first login, you will need to update it manually. To do this:

  • Log in to the server using your credentials.
  • Once logged in, run the following command in the terminal:
    passwd
  • The system will ask you to:
    • Enter the current password (the one provided via email).
    • Enter and confirm a new password of your choice.

• Important Note
  Ensure that the new password is strong and secure, following any password policy guidelines that may apply.
