Password errors for applications

Use ELMO option 1 to verify the password being used is correct. NO change of password is required if you are able to sign into ELMO successfully.

If you receive any messages stating "Web Login Required", or "Account Locked" when signing into your email through an email program (such as Mac Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.), or when using applications such as Google Talk, visit the Account Unlock Page to verify your account. On that page, the username format is your full email address (UAUsername including the "@alaska.edu" suffix), and your ELMO password. Verify the text in the image, and click the Unlock button to unlock your account.
