Password

Your password will consist of information that only you would know.

The format for ten-character password is AMMMYYSSSS which is derived from the following formula.

• A = the first letter of your middle name. If you do not have a middle name, you have been assigned the character “x.”

e.g., Chris A. Jones

• MMM = the second through fourth characters will be the first three letters of your birth month

e.g., November 2, 1971

• YY = the fifth and sixth characters will be the last two digits of your birth year.

e.g., November 2, 1971

• SSSS = the seventh through tenth characters will be the last four digits of your social security number.

e.g., 123-45-6789

The password in the examples would be: anov716789
