General Java Learning Center Program Questions:

Q: What is the Java Learning Center Program?

A: Through the use of an online class environment, the Java Learning Center program allows developers to see, hear, and read the JavaOneSM conference sessions using a multimedia tool. Taught by technology experts, the session content reflects the most current, up-to-date information available.

Technical/Login Related Questions:

Q: It doesn't ask me for a password when I register. How do I get a password to log in with?

A: The password will be e-mailed to the e-mail address you entered for registration shortly after you register.

Q: How do I change my password?

A: You can change your password by logging in and changing your profile. You can find the "Change Your Profile" link on the right hand side of your home account page when you are logged in. Simply enter in a new password, retype the password to confirm and click on the update profile button. Your password will be updated to reflect the new change.

Q: I have a password and userid but I cannot login to the sessions. What do I do?

A: There are several things to try:

Sometimes, cutting and pasting the login and password leaves a 'blank' after the login name or password. Make sure it is the exact ID and password since the verification is case-sensitive.

If you'd like to reset your password, click here and type in your e-mail address. This will reset your password and give you a new one. Then, try to log back in.

If you are still having problems, please ensure that your login ID and password are secure. Only one concurrent session is allowed using a particular login ID and password. The Java Learning Center program monitors the use of the system and reserves the right to block out abusers from the system. Please send a mail to java_learning@sun.com if you are unable to login.

Q: I forgot my password and the hint I entered while setting up my password. What do I do now?

A: Send an e-mail to java_learning@sun.com with your exact name, address, e-mail address and date of birth. Our support engineers will get in touch with you to see if we can help you. We should warn you though, that unless your identity can be confirmed without any ambiguity, we might not be able to reactivate the account.

Q: Why does it timeout and/or say cookies are not enabled?
