I know I'm using the right password - why can't I log onto my computer/email/contacts administration?

At Warnell you have at least 3 passwords:

Computer
    the password for your PC
    it can be the same or different than your network password
    if you want to automatically log in to the network when you log into your computer, check the box to synchronize passwords when you first log in after changing your network password

Network
    used to log into your PC if you don't have "Workstation Only" checked on login screen
    gives you access to shared drives (your Home folder, class folders, etc) and the contacts/faculty bios administration pages
   
GroupWise
    used to log into your email
    can be the same as the Network password or different
    automatically resets when you reset your network password

Failed login attempts are often due to
    not resetting your password every 6 months so it has expired
    using your GroupWise password to log into the network or vice-versa
    when you reset your network password, it automatically resets your GroupWIse password to the same thing. (You can change your GroupWise password to something different through your email client).
