Gmail Does not Accept My Password

Gmail Does not Accept My Password

Symptom
Gmail does now allow a web login or email client/mobile logins.

Cause
Ringling Gmail may be accessed through the portal or via email clients and mobile devices. In certain situations, Google will require account holders to verify their account.

Solution
If you are attempting to access Gmail through the web, please do so by visiting http://my.ringling.edu. If you are attempting to access Gmail via an email client or a mobile device, please follow these steps:

  1. Disable all mail clients you're using to read mail. (If you use one at work and one at home, please disable both.)
  2. From the computer on which your logins are failing, visit https://www.google.com/a/c.ringling.edu/UnlockCaptcha.
  3. Enter your email address as the username, password, and the letters in the distorted picture.
  4. Once you have successfully logged in, restart your mail client or mobile device and try to download your mail.
