NEW! Student Login User Name: same ID k-12 Password: you pick it!

Purpose of Passwords They control who can get information They control who can change information They are used to prove you are who you say you are Purpose of Passwords

Who would want my password? A sibling A friend A criminal A sibling might try to get into your online gaming account. A friend might try to cause trouble for you or just play a “joke” by impersonating you on a social networking site. Career criminals guess or crack passwords for a living. Once criminals gain access to your private identity information, they can sell it to the highest bidder.

Consider This… First and foremost, NEVER give your password to anyone. Make your password something you can remember. Mix letters, numbers and symbols, and use case sensitivity (upper and lower case letters). Do not write it down. If you really, honestly forget your password, we can easily give you a new one. We'd rather set your password once a month because you forgot it than have someone find it written down and gain unauthorized access to your account.

Most Common PWs

On your own Log in and change your password when prompted. Make sure everything in the Dock loads properly (no question marks.) Log out and log back in at least two more times. Go to the BBMS homepage: http://bbms.hcpss.org Silently memorize your password. Repeat it to yourself slowly ten times.

Logging Out Always make sure you log out completely. If you are using the mobile labs, be sure to let the screen go totally black before closing the lid and putting it away. If you do not finish logging out, you may lose data or may not be able to log into another computer in the school. Always make sure to save all of your work before logging out!
