What to Do if You Forgot Your Chromebook Password<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Remember Your Password<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re trying to get back into your Chromebook and can\u2019t remember your password, there are several things you can try. First, remove anything that isn\u2019t necessary from the login screen \u2013 any USB drives, SD cards, or other peripherals \u2013 and try your regular login again. Another solution is to use the Chromebook\u2019s onscreen keyboard to enter your password. If neither of these ideas works, it\u2019s time to look into resetting your password.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reset the Password<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your first step should be to look up the Chromebook\u2019s administrator by typing chrome:\/\/policy into the Chrome browser. If you reach out to the administrator, they should be able to generate a new password for you. Another route is to use the Forgot password option on your screensaver. That should prompt you to enter your Google account information and generate a new password. Finally, if all else fails, try a hard reset of your device, and then create a new password with the initial setup.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remove any USB drives, SD cards, or peripherals from the login screen<\/li>\n<li>Use the Chromebook\u2019s onscreen keyboard to enter your password<\/li>\n<li>Look up the Chromebook\u2019s administrator<\/li>\n<li>Try the Forgot password option on the screensaver<\/li>\n<li>Do a hard reset of your device<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"2-tips-for-resetting-your-chromebook-password\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Tips_for_Resetting_Your_Chromebook_Password\"><\/span>2.
