General -- New Account User Setup

In order to participate and reap the benefits of being in beYou (like using equipment, stat boosts, etc.), you must first register for an account. This can not be done on the website. You must first get a HUD inside the beYou Sim on the video game Second Life.

**WARNING**: By signing up for beYou, you will be locking yourself into using the beYou RP system experience. This means that activities that use beYou equipment or beYou items are tied to your account and your stats. Every beYou action will affect your account. Be sure to consider this before getting a hud and registering your account.

## Getting the Hud

The beYou Hud can be acquired by either visiting the main beYou Sim and clicking on the 'Get Hud' sign on the wall at the help desk or by clicking on the beYou Kiosk next to it.

You can also get the hud on the Second Life Marketplace. beYou kiosks are also at select locations throughout the grid where beYou business owners have requested a terminal to be placed to make it easier for people to sign up.

## Registration

**WARNING**: Once you officially sign up for and register your beYou account, your stats will go live. What this means is that if you do not maintain your stats, you won't be able to do certain things like cooking, using your refrigerator to retrieve your foods, sit on certain pieces of equipment, eat, etc.

If you only want to eat beYou food without consequences, do not activate (aka register/sign up) your account.

To enroll in beYou:

1) Attach the HUD from your inventory. You will immediately get a pop-up instructing you to go to the account creation page if you don't already have an account.

2) Click the link to be taken to the beYouWorld.com website. Fill out the form and create a password. Please choose a password that you will remember. If you forget your password, you can visit the main sim and click the kiosk to request a password reset.

3) **IMPORTANT**: When filling out the form please take your time. The system will automatically fill in your user name and key and you will not be able to change this. Select sex, age (child, teen or adult), and species. If you choose to store an email we can notify you via email if necessary, but this is not required.

4) Once registration is complete, you will be taken to the main beyou World home page. You must log in first using the password you just created. Be sure to use your full SL Legacy name as your username to login (example - firstname lastname or firstname resident (if you don't have a last name))

## Signing Into the Website

Once you've created your beYou profile you will need to login. Make sure that you use your full login ID name, not your display name. If you don't have a last name, please use the word Resident as your 2nd name.

## Getting Your beYou Meter

Once logged in there will be a menu button under the Player menu to deliver a HUD or Meter. Since you already have a HUD you only need to send yourself the meter. Click on the meter checkbox and hit the send button. This will be delivered to your AV in-world. Once added, the little person should show above your head, turning from white to blue or pink with your game stats.

## Resetting Password

From time to time we forget our password. To reset your password, visit any beYou kiosk and click it. Choose ?Password and then type in your new password. Once you've successfully changed your password it will also remind you of your login name.
