When resetting a password--click both unlock and reset.
If you can't find a student in the Password Reset--It takes 24 hours from date of enrollment for a student to have login credentials--try again tomorrow.
Student gets the error message "we've seen this password too many times'--student is using some form of personal identifier (name, dob, etc.) that FWISD will not allow--students need to use words and numbers that can't be found on FOCUS.
If default password in not working, unlock and reset student's account via Teacher's Classlink. WAIT 1-3 minutes for the reset to actually work. (teacher reset directions at bottom of the page)
(at beginning of year or after a reset)
Examples:
Born May 9, 2008 = fwisd.05092008
Born December 5, 2009 = fwisd.12052009
Born October 31, 2007 = fwisd.10312007
Once students log in with their default password, they will be prompted to change their password.
It will first ask for the student's current password—this is their default password: fwisd.MMDDYYYY.
Students in 6th – 12th grade must create a complex password that meets all of the following requirements:
Must be at least 12 Characters long
Must contain at least one of each:
Upper Case Letter(s)
Lower Case Letter(s)
Number (s)
Special Character(s)
1. Get a fresh sheet of paper and a pencil!
2. Draw 12 short lines across a piece of paper, like you would when you play Hangman.
3. Then pick a word that is not a personal identifier, but is something you will remember like your favorite game, team, food, actor, book, etc.—hint, you would want to pick a longer word since you need to get to 12 characters.
4. Write this word down in your spaces—each letter takes up a space—Make sure to Capitalize the first Letter of this word.
5. See if you can easily replace any of the letters with special characters—like a to @, e to 3, s to $ etc. If not, add whatever special character you would like.
6. Look at how many spaces you have left, and fill the remaining with numbers you will remember—perhaps part of a phone number, address, the year you will graduate high school, etc.
