The new user counts is a tally of the number secret questions that
were established with the new NetIDs that were created that month.

First it's divided between those people who used their existing password for authentication (
With PW) or
via other means (Reset). Password-authenticated password
changes would be via the Manage your NetID Resources web page, the user
using the passwd utility on a unix host or other standard
supported Kerberos methods. Reset passwords are either done via the
Change a Forgotten Password web site (W/O
PW) or by calling C&CI (By root).
The W/O PW password changes are then broken down further based on whether they were done with a PAC or secret questions. The secret question changes are then broken down by how many questions the user had established.

For the people who entered their secret questions incorrectly while
trying to change their password, this section attempts to analyze
what method they fell back to to get their password changed. In the
above list, 776 of them successfully entered their answers within an
hour. The "By Root" number indicates a call to C&CI. The number
listed as "with PAC" prior to April 2004 must also have involved a
call to C&CI as the questions would need to be cleared to use a
PAC.
