  3. Can I still reset my FRN-Password?
  4. Yes. If you have an FRN that has an FRN-Password, you can access the updated CORES System, log in with your registered Username and Password, and click the "Reset FRN Password?" link. The FRN does not need to be associated to your Username Account in order for you to use this functionality.

  5. How do I associate my username to my FRN?
  6. In order to associate your username to an existing FRN, you must log in to CORES and click on the "Associate Username to FRN" link.

    If you register for a new FRN after you have signed into CORES, the system will associate your username to that FRN automatically.

  7. How do I setup an Administrator for my FRN?
  8. Any user that can provide the FRN and FRN-Password for an existing FRN can successfully associate with the FRN and become an Administrator.

    These user(s) can then assign/approve permission levels to other users. If a user should be removed as the Administrator of the FRN, a new Administrator must be assigned before their permission level can be downgraded.

  21. The system is requesting that I enter an FRN-Password. What if I don't have the password?
  22. For FRNs that already have an associated Administrator, CORES will route the request to the Administrator for approval if submitted without the password.

    If you registered your FRN using your FCC Username Account, your FRN will not have a password.

  23. How do I associate my username to my FRN if I am the only user, and I have forgotten my password?
  24. You must click the "Forgot FRN Password?" link on the Associate User to FRN - Enter Password page. This will allow you to reset your FRN password by answering your personal security question (PSQ).

    If you successfully reset your password, the system will complete the Username-FRN association process as if you had entered the password.
