Troubleshooting

          There are 3 User Names and Passwords for each machine in the district:

1.       Server login when you turn on your machine

2.     Internet login

3.     SSD webmail login

User Names and Passwords for the Server login and Internet login are the same and are particular to the machine on which you are working.  If you are on a different machine, check with someone to find the User Name and Password for that machine.

 

SSD webmail login (black screen) is the same on any machine – User Name – Your first initial and last name, no spaces, no capitals.  Password – Greenbean was given originally but you have changed it to a personal password.  If you have forgotten your webmail password, please call Pat at Media to change it.

You don't see the server (Novell or NT) login window - Check for a loose or

unplugged blue or gray cable.  Restart the machine after you plug in the cable.

My Password is not working – Check for errors in your User Name and Password for

that machine.  Also, passwords are case sensitive – usually lower case.

No Internet connection – There is no network connection. 

1.       Check for loose, blue or gray Network cables and restart the computer.

2.  Make sure you’ve used the correct User Name and Password for that machine. 

Computer not working -

1.       Restart computer - Some software problems will correct themselves.

2.     Check Cables - Make sure everything is plugged in and not loose.

3.     Check power strip to make sure it is on.

4.     Make sure the monitor is connected to the computer.

5.     Disconnect peripheral devices, such as printers and scanners, and restart the computer.

6.     Listen for unusual sounds - Is the fan running? Is the hard drive making noise?  Talk to your mentor.
