What I need to do the first time
I login into USM Windows Live
Go to http://mail.live.com. Sign in with your
@student.usm.my e-mail address and your ic
as your initial password. Click the sign in button.
The first time you login to USM Windows Live, a
“Provide account information” will appear.
We strongly recommend you follow the instruc-
tions we provide here to ensure you are able to
easily reset your password and access your
student.usm.my in the future. You need to re-
enter your ic number in the password box.
In the change password section, enter the pass-
word you want to use to access you
student.usm.my account. The new password need
to be at least six character in length. You will need
to type it in both boxes.
The “Select a question and secret answer” is very
important if you ever need to reset your password. Se-
lect one of the question and provide a secret answer that
is easy for you to remember, but hard for others to
guess. You will need to re-type it exactly the same in the
future, so make sure it is an answer that you feel you can
re-type the same way many months from now.
If you already have another email address you regularly
use, you may enter it in “Add an alternate e-mail
address”. This is another way you can rest your pass-
word—by having the rest sent to this alternate e-mail
address. You need to type address in both boxes.
The “Your information” is important because it is
required to reset your password using the security ques-
tion you entered above. Please enter Malaysia in Country
field, Postal Code—11800, City/Region—Pulau Pinang.
Enter your birth year.
Review and accept the Microsoft Windows Live service
agreement and Privacy Statement by clicking “I
accept”.
A screen will appear indicating you just updated
your personal information and password. Click the
Sign in to Windows Live” button.
Login with your @student.usm.my e-mail address
and the new password you entered. A screen will
appear that requires you to type the characters
you see in a picture. This prevent spammers from
using automated tools to create multiple mail-
boxes. Type the character you see in the picture
and click “Continue”
By default, the mailbox will open on the “Today”
screen. Most users prefer it to open directly to
their inbox. You can make this changes by finding
the “Want to start with your inbox? To skip the Today
page when you sign in, change your settings.” text at
the bottom of the middle column.
Click “change your settings” at the end of that
sentence, and select the “Skip the Today page…”
option on the “Today page settings” screen. Click
“Save” at the right to make the change.
You are now ready to use your
@student.usm.my email!!
