Your account should have been set up by a user at your District with DistrictAdministrator role privileges OR at the initial system configuration/setup by Heartland. If you need an account, please consult a user in your District with the necessary privileges so they can create one for you.
The admin interface can no longer be used with Internet Explorer 6 or 7. Please use a modern standards compliant browser such as the latest Google Chrome, the latest Firefox, Safari 5+, or Internet Explorer 8+.
