 The first thing you need to do is actually connect to Tardis and log in.
 If you are reading this, hopefully you already have an account. If not, check [[https://tardisproject.uk|our website]] for how to get one.

 For our web services (such as this wiki), you should get redirected to our single-sign-on provider. You can enter your username and password as normal, and then you should be logged in to all of our web services. For some services, you'll need to select 'Login with tardis account' or similar. This is the main way you'll get into things that are already running.

 This looks scary, but all it's asking us to do is make sure the fingerprint is correct. The one you want is ''SHA256:VHmYFC31UnqxUAcJqXuGXqaxUS3ie2387KAAOiPhUng'' - paste this in and it will compare them, making sure you're connecting to us and not someone else. It will also remember the fingerprint, so you should only see this once.
-You should now see something like ''tcmal@tardisproject.uk's password:'' - enter your password (nothing will show up, this is normal).

 If you see a big ASCII tardis then congratulations, you are now logged in on your Tardis shell account! If you are new to Linux the lack of graphical interface can be quite intimidating, but don't worry - these tutorials will hold your hand and walk you through it! By the time you finish these, you should feel quite confident in using your account.
 First off though, you should change your password from the one given to you. To do this type <code>kpasswd</code> and answer the prompts. You just ran your first program! Now go to [[howto:terminal|the next tutorial]] to learn about how to run other programs under Linux, and move around the filesystem.
