<p>I activated my CalNET ID right after I was accepted and I saved all the info on my computer, but I can't find it anymore. Is there any way to find that number, because I don't see any options on the myBerkeleyApplication page. And do they give you your PIN when you activate the ID, too? is it needed later on?</p>
<p>from their faqs:</p>
<p>Q: I have a PIN so why do I need this Bear Facts passphrase?
A: Your PIN is a temporary code that you use only once in order to create a CalNet passphrase and activate your account. (You can change your passphrase anytime) Your CalNet ID and passphrase will be important for you to establish and use throughout your college career at Berkeley. Only your CalNet ID and passphrase will provide you access to your financial aid information, CalSO (student orientation), Registration, the Statement of Legal Residence, etc. Once you have set up your passphrase, keep it confidential and do not forget it! It is time consuming to obtain a new one if you do forget it.</p>
<p>Q: I forgot my Bear Facts passphrase and I can't seem to make a new one. Help!
A: Unfortunately, Admissions staff cannot fix this problem. Only you and the campus’ student security deputy can change your passphrase. When you call or email, explain that you are a newly admitted student, not currently on campus. Be prepared to give a new passphrase to be entered on your account (see <a href="http://calnet.berkeley.edu%5B/url%5D">http://calnet.berkeley.edu</a> ). They may ask you security questions or have your fax them a copy of your photo ID for identification. Be sure to indicate your CalNet ID number on the fax.</p>

<p>Q: How do I create my CalNet ID and what is it used for?
A: Please print and refer to Creating Your CalNet ID.</p>
<p>Q: I tried getting into Bear Facts several times, and it still wouldn't go through. I am using my CALNET ID and PIN, but it would not let me create my passphrase.
A: You cannot access Bear Facts with your CalNet ID number and PIN; you first need to activate (create) your CalNet ID (using your PIN) and create a passphrase. Refer to Creating Your CalNet ID for more information. If you are having difficulty with activating or creating your CalNet ID, you should contact the Information Services & Technology.
your PIN is in your myBerkeleyApp Next Steps section.</p>
