# How to Claim Your Account ### **Overview of Account Claiming** --- Claiming a RapidIdentity account is a process which involves the following: 1. Proving ownership of the account via a claim code 2. Agreeing to the SBLSD's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) 3. Setting a new password 4. (*Optionally*) Setting challenge questions which are used in the event you forget your password. ### **Claim Codes** --- A claim code is a token which the owner of the account has knowledge of and is used to prove that the person accessing an account is the owner of it. For SBLSD accounts, the claim code is based on your employee ID or student ID. #### Staff Claim Codes
*For district staff, the claim code is your employee ID (**the same as your printer code**). If you don't know your employee ID, follow these steps to find it:* **1**. Login to [Skyward](https://www2.nwrdc.wa-k12.net/scripts/cgiip.exe/WService=wsumners71/seplog01.w) and go to Employee Access **2**. Click **Employee Information** > **Personal Information** **3**. Click **Reports** > **My Own Info** **4**. Select **EMPLOYEE NAME ID** and click the **Print** button (this will not send anything to a physical printer). **5**. When **Request Complete** is shown, you can click **View Report** to see your employee ID.
#### Student Claim Codes
For students, the claim code is your student ID with leading zeroes if your ID is under 8 characters long. For example:
**Student ID****Claim Code**
012345600123456
