# Introduction to using Homebase

As a user of Homebase you have been given a single "account".

You have received a password, that you **MUST** change before exploring Homebase with your account.

## Choosing a good password

A good password is something impossible to guess, yet easy to remember.

 * Don't use the name of your pet dog or anything else personal.
 * Don't use plain words at all - mumbo jumbo goobledegop is much better

Think of a phrase - a poem or a song. Pick first letter of each word - that's often a great password.

## Treating your password with care

Your password is strictly personal.

 * Do not write it down.
 * Do not **ever** pass it on to others - not to your father or teacher, and not to any technicical supporter.

No problem if you forget you password: We simply reset and provide you a new one.

 /!\ Forgetting your password is no shame: it shows that you tried hard to pick a good one!
