*Passwords - If you forget your Outlook password, fill out a "Lifeline" asking for your password to be reset; Kurt will notify you once it has been reset; at that time you need to go to a black PC or laptop (not old PCs or Macs) and log on using your regular user id and use your staff ID # as the password; at that time you will be prompted to create a new password
