Before you try to login, be sure you have enabled popup windows from x2. bedfordps.org. Many computers have more than one pop up blocker installed. Most web browsers have their own pop up blocker and tool bars such as Google or Yahoo also can have their own pop up blocker. If you do not know how to enable pop ups from one web site (x2. bedfordps.org), then you should allow all pop ups while using Aspen.
2. Log in with the username and password you received in the mail. If you did not receive a username and password, please contact via Aspen@bedford.k12.ma.us or Aspen@bedfordps.org.
3. If this is the first time you have logged into Aspen or if you haven’t logged in for a while, your password is expired. You will be forced to create a new password as you login by re-entering the password from the letter sent home and entering a new password twice. If the pop up window to pick a new password does not appear, you have not allowed pop up from x2. bedfordps.org in all your pop up blockers.
4. Your new password must be 6-character minimum and have at least one capital letter and one number. Password are case sensitive.
