Reset Password Using Cpanel

• Open your cpanel by going to http://www.your_domain_name.com/cpanel
• Type in your old username and password:
• Click on the icon that says “CHANGE PASASWORD”, the 3^rd icon on the top
• You’ll be asked your old password and to enter your new password.
• Then click “change your password now” 

Protect your password:Don’t write down your password, memorize it. In particular, don’t write it down and leave it anywhere, and don’t place it in an unencrypted file! Use unrelated passwords for systems controlled by different organizations. Don’t give or share your password, in particular to someone claiming to be from computer support or a vendor unless you are sure they are who they say they are. Don’t let anyone watch you enter your password. Don’t enter your password on a computer you don’t trust. Use the password for a limited time and change it periodically.

 Choose a hard-to-guess password: Our system will try to prevent you from choosing a really bad password, but it isn’t foolproof; create your password wisely. Don’t use something you’d find in a dictionary (in any language or jargon). Don’t use a name (including that of a spouse, parent, child, pet, fantasy character, famous person, or location) or any variation of your personal or account name. Don’t use accessible information about you or your environment, such as your phone number, license plate or social security number. Don’t use a birthday or a simple pattern, such as backwards, followed by a digit, or proceeded by a digit. Instead, use a mixture of upper and lower case letters, as well as digits or punctuation. When choosing a new password, make sure it’s unrelated to any previous password. Use long passwords (say 8 characters long). You might use a word pair with punctuation inserted, a pass phrase (an understandable sequence of words), or the first letter of each word in a pass phrase.  

Financial Advising Careers Offer Women Flexibility, Fulfillment and Opportunity

(ARA) – When you think of women in the workplace, some typical career areas come to mind – health care, education and information technology. Missing from that list is a career many women haven’t considered but one that is well-suited to them: financial advising.

Financial advising offers women a flexible schedule, excellent income potential and the personal fulfillment of helping others. And demand for financial advisers is growing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the overall employment of personal financial advisers is expected to increase “faster than average” for all occupations through 2014.

Within an already growing field, women are finding more opportunities than ever. Consider the statistics: 83 percent of household spending is controlled by women. Women are expected to control $1 trillion by 2010 and constitute two-thirds of all wealthy Americans by 2019.

As a growing number of women influence financial decisions, they often look to other women for financial advice.

“We have found that successful women like to work with other successful women,” says Jackie Hintz, director of career entry for Minneapolis-based Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

Unfortunately, females are currently underrepresented in the financial advising field. Women make up only 20 percent of the financial advisers in the United States. Many financial services organizations realize the gender mix of their financial advisers is not reflective of the market in general and are actively recruiting more women.

Women who enter the career are finding financial advising to be a good fit. Many appreciate the freedom and flexible schedule — especially working moms. “I’ve been able to keep my career moving ahead without sacrificing my children in order to do that,” says Sherith Squires, a senior financial consultant with Thrivent Financial in Camarillo, Calif.

The income potential, often commission-based, is also attractive. In financial advising, the “glass ceiling” that exists for women in other careers is nonexistent. “There are no limits on women’s ability to succeed,” Hintz says.

Most importantly, the career is personally fulfilling. “Financial advisers make a difference in people’s lives,” Hintz says. “They help clients protect their families and achieve their financial goals.”

Today’s female financial advisers range from recent college graduates to women who entered the industry after spending 20, 30 or even 40 years doing something else. Women from all walks of life, such as sales associates, teachers and lawyers have started new careers as financial advisers.

What makes a good financial adviser? Someone who is a good listener, a good relationship builder and wants to see clients achieve their goals. Financial product knowledge isn’t a prerequisite; it’s covered extensively in new-hire training.

A corporate attorney sent the following out to the employees in his company.The next time you order checks have only your initials (instead of first name) and last name put on them.

If someone takes your check book they will not know if you sign your checks with just your initials or your first name but your bank will know how you sign your checks.  

When you are writing checks to pay your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the “For” line. Instead, just put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check processing channels won’t have access to it.

· Put your work address or a P.O. Box on your checks instead of your home address. If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. If you do not have a PO Box, use your work address. Never have your Social Security Number printed on your checks (DUH!) You can add it if it is necessary. But if you have it printed, anyone can get it.

· If your wallet or purse contained bank account information, such as account numbers, ATM cards or checks, report the loss to your bank. Cancel checking and savings accounts and open new ones. Get a new ATM card with a new account number and make sure you change the personal identification number (PIN) or password

· Do not sign the back of your credit cards.   Instead, put “PHOTO ID REQUIRED”.

· Place contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine. Do both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel. Keep the photocopy in a safe place. I also carry a photocopy of my passport when I travel either here or abroad.

· We’ve all heard horror stories about fraud that’s committed on us in stealing a name, address, Social Security Number, credit cards.

 We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately. But they key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers handy so you know whom to call. Keep those where you can find them.File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where your credit cards, etc. were stolen.

 · But here’s what is perhaps most important of all: Call the 3 national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and social security number. (This means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen, and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit. Here are the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet, etc has been stolen:
