How To Get Your Cabrillo Login and Password
On This Page
Introduction
Here are some instruction for obtaining your Cabrillo login and password. To use the computers in classrooms, labs or the CTC, you will need a login and password. This same login and password is used to access Blackboard. To lookup your login and password, you must know your student ID number, which is shown on your registration receipt.
Every student enrolled in a computer course at Cabrillo has a unique login and password. You must use this login and password for Blackboard and to use the computers at Cabrillo. If you are adding a class then you will have to wait up to two business days after you enroll to get your login and password.
Until you get your own login and password, you may use the generic account shown below to login to computers (but not Blackboard).
Instructions
- Login to a school computer using the generic account name and password:
Login: fall10 Password: froggy- Open a web browser
- Go to the Student Account Activation page
- Fill in the required information and click the submit button
- Record your individual account and password
- Close the browser
- Logoff from the generic account
Start => Logoff- Logon to the computer with your new account name and password.
Student Folders
Every student with an account has a folder on the network. You can use this folder anywhere on campus. The desktop of your PC has a shortcut to your folder.
When you work with files in your folder, you should copy them to the desktop before using them. Using your folder over the network will sometimes give you problems with some programs. Also, you will not lose your work if the power goes out.
However, when you are done working on your files, make sure to copy them back to your student folder. If you forget, then you will lose your work when you logout!
