What is my username and password on the network?
The current convention is that your last name (up to 8 characters) is your username (all in lowercase). If you happen to have a common name, your username will be your last name followed by the first letter of your first name. For example, if your last name is tweedie, then tweedie is your username. If your name is terri smith, however, your username will probably be smitht. If your name is exactly the same as someone else on the network, you’ll have to fight that user to the death to see who gets the name (we’re just kidding; first blood is usually enough to decide). Some older accounts do not follow this convention, but have been kept for simplicity (for the users anyway). Your password will be created when your account is created. We’ll randomly pick a password for your first login; after you log in, you can change it to something a bit more friendly (but still unguessable).
