[auton-users] Change Your Auton Account Password

[Michael J. Baysek]

Let me reinforce - since I have been asked - that a changed password:

- is not the same as your current password.

- is not obviously similar to your current password (going from 
ducttape01 to ducttape02, etc)

Also note that cpu.autonlab.org is also known as lop1.auton.cs.cmu.edu, 
or lop1.autonlab.org.
