Lost My Password!?!

We cannot see your
password. We can reset it, though. Actually, you can
just call the Help Desk (847.934.8100-press 2), and
they can reset it for you.
...BUT... Your next step then is to go to a school Computer Lab, LMC Lab, or one of the silver teacher workroom iMacs, and log-in with your username (firstname.lastname) and the default password that the Help Desk will give you when your password has been reset. When you do that, you will have to create a new password, which meets the following requirements:
From there, using your new password, at home, school, or anywhere, you can use a web browser to access your email, calendar, and contacts at:
http://webmail.ccsd21.org
Likewise, this password can be used to access your home directory by simply logging in to an up-to-date/modern computer at school as well as for any wikis for which you are a member.
