h2. Step 1: Login to your new Boxcar

In your welcome email, you'll be provided with the login information that you'll need to connect to your new Boxcar instance. 

TODO: add screenshot pointing out the login information in an email

@ssh -l root xyz.railsboxcar.com@

You'll use the password that was provided to you in the email. If everything connect, great, we're ready to move to the next step.

*HELP:* If you cannot login with the password provided, please "contact support":http://planetargon.com/support.html.

h2. Step 2: Change your root password

When you receive your new Boxcar login information, the root password is sent to you in clear text through email, which is insecure. We *highly* encourage you to login to your new Boxcar and change this password immediately. After this is done, nobody will have this password except you. Don't worry, if you ever need us to reset it, we'll be able to do this for you and send you a new root password and you can follow this process again.

To change your password, you can use the @passwd@ command.

@$ passwd@

This command will prompt you to provide your new password and confirm it. After the password is change, we're ready to move on. 

*TIP:* Always test your new login information in a new terminal (before logging out) to verify that you set it properly. Nobody wants to get locked out of their own Boxcar. ;-)
