Having trouble signing into your Chromebook? Try these simple troubleshooting steps for common login and account problems.
Can't Sign In
What to Try:
- Check that Caps Lock is OFF - passwords are case-sensitive
- Make sure you're using your school email address (usually yourname@yourschool.edu)
- Type your password carefully and check for typos
- Make sure you're connected to WiFi (click Browse as Guest if needed to connect first)
- Check if you can log in to Gmail on another device - if not, your password may have been changed
Important: Don't guess your password repeatedly - this can lock your account. If you're not sure, contact IT for help.
Forgot Password
What to Do:
- Do NOT keep guessing - you could lock your account
- Contact your teacher or school IT department
- They can reset your password or help you recover your account
- You may need to verify your identity
Account Locked or Disabled
What to Do:
If you see messages like "Account is disabled" or "This account is not allowed":
- Contact your school IT department or administration immediately
- Your account may need to be reactivated by an administrator
- Make sure you're using your school account, not a personal Gmail account
- Your Chromebook may need to be enrolled for your account
Quick Tip: Most login issues are caused by incorrect passwords or account status problems that require IT assistance.
