Your Initial Password is Temporary

Your initial password is your date of birth in YYYYMmmDD format.

• Mmm is the first 3 letters of the Month
  • January = "Jan", February = "Feb", etc.
• Example: January 1, 1993 = 1993Jan01

See your initial password.

Your initial password gives you only 3 grace login sessions, so the first thing you need to do is create a permanent password.
