Google Passwords

Changing Your Gmail Password

All students 8th grade and up are REQUIRED to change their password once they have created their account. This is the password for your Gmail, Drive, Sites, and all other Google accounts.

---------------------------

If you KNOW your current Password:

• • • Sign in to your Gmail account

    • Click on your Google personal icon that is in the upper right corner

    • Click on “Manage Your Google Account”

    • Click the second tab at the top, “Google Password”

    • Enter your current password

    • Enter your NEW password--twice for verification, following the guidelines in the SBA Password Policy (Remember, once you change your password, you cannot go back to your old one).

    • Click "Change Password" to Save changes

---------------------------

If you have FORGOTTEN your password

• • If you have NOT set up a secondary email address, the SBA IT Department are the ONLY ONES who can reset email passwords.  This will be MOST students!

    • Please come to Room 24 in the High School Hallway to reset it

• • If you HAVE set up a secondary email address, use the “Can’t access your account?” link and the "I don't know my password" option, which will direct you to a page with up to three recovery options:

    • Get a verification code sent to your mobile device.

    • Request a password reset email to be sent to your recovery account.

    • Answer your security question and perform an on-line password reset.

    • Proceed to the Account Recovery Form. Look for a "Verify your identity" link if the other options don't work.
