If you are logging into Banner for the first time, it is recommended to change your password. To perform this task you must either select the “Change Banner Password” link from the main menu or by directly accessing the form GUAPSWD.
In the “Oracle Password” field, enter your current password. Use Tab to move to the next field.
In the “New Oracle Password” field, enter a password that you can remember easily, but which is not easily guessed by someone else. (See the section below for hints). You must then Tab to the next field to re-enter this password exactly as you entered it above. Once you have verified this new password, click on the Save button or press Enter. Remember, any time you wish to enter Banner after this point, you must use this new password.
NOTE: If you use Crystal (or other programs that access the Oracle database) for ad-hoc reporting, you will use this same password.
Password Hints
Your Banner password is the only thing that will prevent the wrong person from accessing your account. You should guard it very carefully and not give it to others.
Do not use personal names or references. Do not use numbers associated with you. In general, do not use any word that might appear in a dictionary. A good procedure is to start with a word that you can easily remember, then make changes to it that produces a meaningless string of characters. You might misspell part of the word, or insert numbers into the word. For example, you might start with "chicken" and change it to "ch1k2ken".
