Hello Rattler!
As a new Student or Employee, you need to set up your security questions and password in the iRattler password reset manager. These are the steps: 

If you are a student: Go to FAMU UAC to Retrieve your iRattler Credentials.

If you are an Employee: Your supervisor should have already begun the account creation process by reaching out to Human Resources and making sure you have an active contract. Speak to them about retrieving your username and temporary password.


Once you finish that process you will be given your username or "FAMnet ID" (ex: john1.rattler) and a temporary password. You may log in to iRattler with this temporary password, but before it expires be sure to set up your Questions and Answers profile ASAP. We will show you how below:
