First Login Procedure
Default Account Information:
CSE accounts are setup with the same username as your MSU NetID (portion before the @msu.edu of your email address). Password is your student PID, starting with a capital A. Employees with a Z-PID will have their password start with a capital Z.
Requirements:
Every CSE student needs to complete the first login process. This consists of changing your password to something more secure along with accepting the CSE Acceptable Use Policy.
Since new accounts use student PID for password, accounts are vulnerable until this process is completed. At any point you may receive an email reminding you of this.
CSE requires a strong password.
