Here’s how to set up home access password for INFOhio resources 

At school, students and teachers are automatically connected to INFOhio’s resources such as BookFlix. To use them from home, they need a username and password. Stipulations in the licensing agreements with the resource publishers do not allow INFOhio to post the username and password electronically, "but you can request the username and password by clicking Get My Password on www.infohio.org/student. In addition, most school systems have applied for their own username and password, which you can get from your school library media specialist or INFOhio provider at the district’s Information Technology Center (ITC).
