QUESTION	ANSWER
1. I don't know my PeopleSoft ESS User ID number	Your User ID number is your 6-digit Payroll ID number, not your Employee ID number. If you don't know your Payroll ID number, log in to Employee Online and find your Payroll (SDCOE) ID number under Personal Information in the menu, or call Payroll (x181392).

When you've logged in successfully, you will be directed to a page with a link that says 'Your password has expired. Click here to reset your password.' Follow the password requirements carefully to create a new password. (Don't forget to set up your Forgotten Password Help in your profile. See below for more information.)
3. I can't remember my password and I've previously logged into PeopleSoft ESS and changed my password.	Use the Forgot My Password link on the log in page.
