Getting Started

Look up your Z-ID at password.niu.edu.

All students are given an initial password that allows 3 grace login sessions.

Your initial password is your date of birth in YYYYMmmDD format. Mmm is the first 3 characters of the Month.

• January = Jan, February = Feb, etc.
• Example: January 1, 1993 = 1993Jan01

If you need help determining your initial password.

The first thing you need to do is change your initial password to a permanent one at password.niu.edu.
