Network

This is the same user name and password you use to log in to your machine. For some web applications (such as Planet PeopleSoft), you will be asked to log in again when you try to access the application. For others, such as eReports, you will not have to enter your login information again as long as you are logged onto the machine on which you are accessing the application.

User Name
The user name is created from your name. It is usually created from the first letter of your first name, and up to the first 7 letters of your last name.  For example: Fred Flintstone's user name would be Fflintst.  Tubby Toad's user name would be Ttoad.  Ordinarily the User name field will be pre-populated with your user name.

If you can't find your network name, see Eureka! document 55125 — How to find my network name.

Password
The default network password is "password."  That password should be changed immediately after the first time you log in to the network at PeopleSoft. You may change your password at any time. You will be required to change your password at least every 45 days.  For instructions on how to change your network password, see Eureka! document 50001 — How to change a network password. If you need your password reset because you can't remember it or it has expired, contact Technical Support Operations .
