Some images are no longer used but they still exist here for the time being. Text is used instead though based on some discussion text might have to change. Adjusted alt text of some images a bit. A more thorough look at the way these updates look must still be done.

Change your submit server initial password
Using the Username and Initial password you receive via email in step 3, you need to login to the IOCCC submit server.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must change your password WITHIN 72 HOURS from when one of the IOCCC judges sent that email.
NOTE: The IOCCC submit server will be ready for submissions ONLY WHEN THE CONTEST IS open. See current status of the IOCCC for details on the contest status.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When the contest is closed, the IOCCC submit server may be offline and unreachable as a website.
To login and change your password, open https://submit.ioccc.org in your browser. It should look like this:
The username is the UUID you are provided when a judge replies to your request to register for the IOCCC and the password is the initial password you are given. Click "Login".
After you log in, if this is the first time you have logged in with this UUID, you will be required to change your password. Assuming everything is fine, that would look something like:
As you can see, on your first login you MUST change your password. If you do not do this within 72 hours YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED and you'll have to register again! In that case, it will say something like this:
ERROR: Sorry (tm Canada 🇨) you cannot login at this time.
Assuming you did login in time, you should put in your login (UUID username), your old (initial) password and a new password and then click "Change Password".
NOTE: if you have put in your old password, you'll get the following error:
ERROR: Password not changed
ERROR: invalid old password
Once you've changed your password successfully you will be able to log in again with your UUID username and new password. When you have done this it will report:
• Password successfully changed.
When the contest is open, proceed with Step 5: Obtain and compile the latest mkiocccentry toolkit.
