    sample magazine label

    Your customer number is on your mailing label as illustrated above. Your temporary password is "iseriesnetpro," but after you log in, you'll be prompted to select your own password and to fill out your member profile.

    Upon logging in for the first time using the above information, you will be prompted to choose your personal password. From that point on, you will be identified by "cookie" technology; meaning you can access the System iNetwork from the same computer and browser without providing your password information and gain full access immediately. Please note: In order to log in from a different computer and/or browser, you will have to log out of the other machine. You may only log in to the System iNetwork from one computer at a time.
