Q: How do I obtain a username and initial default password?
Undergraduates, Taught and Research postgraduates automatically receive a username. Your username is printed on the front of your Student Union card, and is also your email address (username@leeds.ac.uk).
You can also obtain your username and password from the following web site : http://mypassword.leeds.ac.uk.
Alternatively you can use this method from any ISS cluster PC .

Username application forms are also available from the ISS Help Desk for purposes such as setting up project accounts or applying to re-activate a previous account held.
