### Logging into Lawrence

With Ubuntu for Windows open, ssh into Lawrence.

{% hint style="info" %}

* **USD users:** Lawrence login information will be based on your USD login (e.g. your password will be the same as in your email account)
* **Non-USD users**: receive an email from the ServiceDesk regarding login information and/or password creation after the account is set up.  
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: your **password** will **not show up** as you type- it will look like nothing is happening.  It may seem strange, but keep typing, it is picking up the keystrokes.
{% endhint %}

```
username@NI8724:~$ ssh -X User.Name@Lawrence.usd.edu
User.Name@lawrence.usd.edu's password:
```

If it accepts the password, it will show a welcome message and a prompt (a line that ends with '$').
