About passwords

If you are using your user name and password for the first time, you
will be prompted to change your password to something that only you
know. Type the password in twice as requested. The next time you log
in, you will only type your password once.
Your password should be something you will remember, yet be
obscure enough that no one will guess it.
You should not give this password to anyone but it is very important that
you remember it as you cannot log in without it. If you forget your password,
you should contact the Customer Service Centre on 9264 5555 (metropolitan)
or 1800 012 828 (country).

The desktop

1. When you have successfully supplied, both, your user name and password,
the desktop window (above) is displayed. At the bottom left of the screen
is the Start button.
2. Using the touchpad, move the pointer over the Start button, and tap once.
The Start menu is displayed.

The Start menu

This is your starting point for everything, so let's take a closer look at this menu.
Your user name is displayed at the top of this window. Below this there are two
columns.
At the top of the left column is Internet Explorer, followed by a list of your most
recently used applications (software programs) – this list will change according to
which applications you have used recently or most frequently.
