Click  "Work or school account"

 

 

 

4. On the next screen, in the User ID field, enter your CWSL email address.


Below that, there are several weird looking letters. This is one of those screens where you have to enter the weird letters to prove that you are a real person and not a computer. Enter those letters in the next field, and then click Next.

 

5. On the next screen, click the Email  or phone button.  The system will send a code to your recovery email address or phone number.

This is the email address and/or phone number you set up when you activated your account.

 

6. The email to your alternate address will look something like the graphic to the right.

Note the code.

 

7. Enter the code from the email in the verification window.  Then click Next.

 

 Once you enter the secret code, you will be prompted to enter a new password.

Passwords for our network require a minimum of eight characters.  There are four types of text characters:

  • CAPITAL LETTERS
  • lowercase letters
  • Numbers:  12345
  • Special characters:  *&^%)

Three of these four types of characters must be included in the password.  Student names or usernames may not be part of your password.
