Your network log in username will be: (please notice the period . between the names.)
FIRST.LAST
And your initial password will be 123456. When you log in to the network for the first
time, you will be asked to select a new password for your use. You will be required to change
your password every 30 days to assure the security of our network.
PASSWORDS:
On employment, all entitled users are given a network username and password. Your
username will remain the same for the duration of your employment and will only be changed
in exceptional circumstances. Your original password is used initially for all services to which
you are entitled, but cannot be changed for each service individually. However, changing a
password for one service does not change it for any others. Only exception to this rule is our
NETWORK and EMAIL passwords, which are always the same.
For technical reasons, different services have differing rules on passwords. For example:
Your network password must be at least 6 characters.
Passwords must be changed every 30 days and you cannot re-use any of your
previous 5 passwords.
For specific information on how to change a password for each service we provide, see the
€ Changing Passwords in Dashboard.
Given the above constraints, there are some general Do's and Dont's that can be applied to
the setting of passwords for all services:
DO
Think of a password before you change it (trying to think of a password when trying to
change it can lead to your being locked out of that service).
Change passwords when you first receive them.
Select a password that is hard to guess; do not use a word that would appear in a
dictionary.
DO NOT
Change your password while someone is looking over your shoulder,
Leave your password(s) in a place where they can be seen by anyone, including on a
post-it stuck to your computer!
Write your passwords on a piece of paper marked passwords.
Use the same password for all services, as if someone finds or cracks your passwords,
all of your services could be compromised,
Use an obvious password, such as your name, username, a blank password, the word
password, or any word that can be found in a dictionary.
Give your password to someone else.
REMEMBER, YOU WILL BE LOCKED OUT OF THE SYSTEM AFTER 2 FAILED ATTEMPTS

YOU CAN'T REMEMBER TO AVOID BEING LOCKED OUT.
