Entering Your Permanent Password

When you log in for the first time using the default password “USERPASS” or “STAFFPASS”, the Permanent Password screen displays.

NOTE: You must provide a permanent password to complete the login process. Select a password that you will remember. Your password may be a maximum of 20 characters in length, with no spaces. Your password may have any combination of alphabetic (upper- or lower-case) and numeric characters, and any special characters (such as & * $ # @ , etc.). Your password is not case-sensitive.

To enter your permanent password:

1. Enter the password you have chosen in the New Password and Confirm Password text boxes.

   NOTE: Enter the password in exactly the same way in both text boxes.

2. Click the Submit button to save your permanent password and complete the login process.
   • If you enter an invalid password, the message “passwords do not match. Please try again” shows briefly at the top of the screen.
     • Make sure there are no spaces in your password.
     • Make sure you enter your password in exactly the same way in both the New Password and Confirm Password text boxes.
   • Re-enter your password in the New Password and Confirm Password text boxes, then click the Submit button.

NOTE: REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR PASSWORD SECURE. DO NOT tell your personal password to anyone. DO NOT write your password down. You will use your new password for all future logins, so remember it! If you think your password may be compromised, you can change it at any time using the Your Account feature (see Using Your Account for details). If you forget your password, notify your Library or System Administrator.
