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 - a little detective work and it is guessed!
Don't use plain words at all - a robot can easily be told to try complete dictionaries, backwards, sideways, and mixed with the date of your birthday. Then it is guessed!
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.
