Introduction to using this system
As a user of this system you have been given an "account". You have received a
"username" (probably by email), and a password (probably by cellphone text
message).
The password you received has only a short lifespan, and must be changed
soon.
Pick a good password
Invent something impossible to guess, yet easy to remember.

Avoid personal info. Don't use your mother's birthday or your pet cat.
Avoid plain words. Gibberish mixed with mumbo jumbo is much better (robots
use dictionaries!).

Suggestion: Think of a phrase - e.g. a poem or a song. Pick first letter of
each word. Add a number. Gibberish in itself, but easy (for you) to
remember/recreate.
Save your password in your head only
Your password is strictly personal.

Do not write it down.
Do not ever reveal it to anyone. Not a friend, your boss, the police, me
or other technicians.
Be proud if you forget your password: That means you picked a strong
password :-)

If you loose or reveal your password then just report it, and a new one is
created for you (and texted to you, if your cellphone number is known to the
system).
Change your password
Depending on system setup, you may change your password with the provided
webmail "IMP" (contact your technicians for details).
