So, you have your Chromebook, you take it home and you can't log into your CMS Google account.

If you scroll down this page, you can check these examples of the error messages you are seeing.

NOTE: IF YOU CAN LOG IN AT SCHOOL, YOU CAN LOG IN AT HOME !!

The first step you have to take is to totally shut down your assigned Chromebook at school logging out is not going to work.

Repeat after me: SHUT DOWN MY CHROMEBOOK BEFORE I LEAVE SCHOOL.

Once you have shut down your assigned Chromebook while still at Hopewell, the following photos all represent the similar mistakes. However, there is a simple fix. Once you are away from Hopewell and you have logged out of your assigned Chromebook away from Hopewell, you HAVE to follow the simple login below. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

Student ID#@cms.k12.nc.us is the Organizational User Name.

Your password for this login is your birth date based password in the following format:

YYYMMDD

These usernames and passwords NEVER CHANGE!!

The login below is not wrong. The username to use is Student ID#@cms.k12.nc.us Is the Organizational User Name

The password is YYYYMMDD

THESE WILL NEVER CHANGE. YOU CANNOT CHANGE THESE LOGINS.

Error 1

So, you shut your assigned Chromebook down completely before leaving Hopewell. You log in your assigned Chromebook with the normal login, Student ID# @student.cms.k12.nc.us. You then enter your password. You open a webpage and you get another login prompt. You enter your username, again. You enter the password YYYYMMDD. You then get one or the other of the two screens shown below.

When you look CAREFULLY at both of these login attempts, the same error has been made. Each person used the username, StudentID#@student.cms.k12.nc.us .

Nope!!

Wrong!

Danger!!

In both of these login attempts, the USERNAME you HAVE TO USE is STUDENTID#@CMS.K12.NC.US.

YOUR PASSWORD IS YOUR BIRTHDATE, YYYYMMDD .
