If you have never logged in to FlashLine to set up your account profile and change your password, your account might be accessible using the default password assigned to you by the university. Your default password is set according to the formula mmmyyxxxxx, where:
1. mmm = first three letters of the birth month
yy = last two digits of the birth year
xxxxx = last five digits of your Kent State ID (formerly, Banner ID)
2. If you are able to log in using your FlashLine username and default password, you'll be prompted to provide an alternate email address, set up the answers to several security questions, and change your password. By doing so, you'll be able to access these questions in the future to reset your own password if you ever forget it. NOTE: If you forget your password and are unable to provide answers to your security questions, you may have to visit the Geauga or Regional Academic Center Helpdesk for assistance.
