HOW  TO  SET  UP  YOUR  INTEC.ME  E-­‐MAIL  ACCOUNT      Please  note:  You  may  find  that  the  process  described  below  is  slightly  different  from  the  one  you  will  experience.  Do  not  worry  about  this.  As  long  as  you  follow  the  on-­‐screen  instructions,  you  will  set  up  your  account  successfully!    1. Go  to  http://home.live.com.  The  page  should  look  like  this:    

 2. Log  in  to  Windows  Live  by  using  your  intec.me  e-­‐mail  address  and  password.  Your  e-­‐mail  

address  will  be  your  student  number  @intec.me.  So  if  your  student  number  is  1000198768,  then  your  e-­‐mail  address  will  be  [email protected].  Your  initial  password  is  999999.    

 Please  note:  Since  we  have  already  created  your  intec.me  account,  you  must  use  the  sign  in  function,  not  the  sign  up  function.    

 

   

After  you  have  signed  in,  you  will  be  asked  to  verify  your  information  and  to  create  a  new  password.  You  will  go  through  the  following  process:  

 3. Verify  your  information.  Here,  insert  your  initial  intec.me  password,  which  is  999999.  

 

   

4. Change  your  password.  Choose  a  new  password  that  you’ll  use  to  log  in  to  Windows  Live.  You  can  also  decide  to  make  your  password  expire  every  72  days.  You  will  then  be  required  to  change  your  password  every  72  days.  Then  press  submit.      

 

 

 5. Set  your  Country/region  and  birth  year.  

   

6. Read  the  Windows  Live  service  agreement  and  Privacy  Statement,  and  then  click  on  I  accept.    

   

7. You  will  then  get  the  following  screen:  

   Click  the  Sign  in  to  Windows  Live  button.    

8. You  will  then  get  the  login  screen  again.  Please  type  in  your  username  and  your  new  password  that  you’ve  just  created.  Then  click  on  the  Sign  in  button.    

 

   

 

 

 9. You  will  then  see  the  following  page:  

   Here,  select  your  language  and  time  zone.  If  you  are  in  South  Africa,  change  the  settings  to  the  following:    

   Then  click  OK.    

 

 

 

 10. You  will  then  be  directed  to  your  Outlook  page.      

   

 11. If  you  click  on  Options  (in  the  top  right-­‐hand  corner),  you  will  be  able  to  customise  your  

Outlook.    

   Here,  you  can  insert  your  address  details  and  telephone  numbers  (if  you  want  to).  You  can  also  link  other  email  addresses  to  this  one,  such  as  your  Hotmail  or  Gmail  account.      

 

 

 12. However,  the  most  important  setting  to  change  is  to  set  an  additional  email  address  for  when  

you  forget  your  intec.me  password.  First,  click  on  Change  your  password.  You  will  then  see  this  screen,  which  will  open  in  a  new  window:  

 

   13. Under  Password  reset  information,  click  on  the  word  Add  next  to  Email:  You  should  then  enter  

an  alternate  email  address  where  your  password  confirmation  can  be  sent  to  when  you  forget  your  intec.me  password.  Then  click  on  Add.    

 

   

 

 

 14. Now  set  the  default  question  you’ll  be  asked  when  you  forget  your  password.  Click  on  the  word  

Change  next  to  Question:  Default  secret  question?    

   

15. Now  type  in  your  current  password,  select  a  secret  question  and  then  type  in  the  answer  to  your  secret  question.  Click  on  Save.  You  will  be  sent  this  question  to  verify  your  identity  when  you  forget  your  intec.me  password.    

   

16. You  will  then  be  asked  to  sign  in  again:    

   

 

 

 17. Your  account  details  will  now  be  updated  and  you  will  go  back  to  this  screen:  

 

   From  here,  you  can  either  simply  close  this  window,  or  you  click  on  the  Profile  link  in  the  top  right-­‐hand  corner  to  set  up  your  personal  profile.      Well  done!  You  have  now  set  up  your  intec.me  mailbox,  and  you  have  set  up  the  process  to  receive  your  password  to  an  alternate  email  address,  should  you  forget  it.      Now  take  your  time  and  explore  all  the  different  functions  provided  by  Windows  Live,  such  as  how  to  manage  your  calendar,  manage  your  contacts,  and  link  to  your  Facebook  profile  from  here.
