Troubleshooting Tips.

When I try and log in on my Chromebook, I get an error "The username or password you entered is incorrect."

          The issue may be that you need to log out of your district account on the Chromebook.. You can also reboot your Chromebook, just make sure and start TestNav before you log in. If you have done this and still receive the error, please contact your teacher.

I am logged in on my Chromebook, but when I try and take a test the "Start" button is gray.

You may still be logged into your district account on the Chromebook. Please sign out of your chrome account and then click "Apps" on the bottom left, then Testnav. You can also reboot your Chromebook, just make sure and start TestNav before you log in.

I still have a gray "Start" or "Resume" button.

          If you were kicked out of a test before finishing, you will have to contact your teacher to have the test reset.

The login screen is in a different language.

This means the last student to log in to this device changed the Chromebook's main language.
To change this to English or another language, you will need to log in to the Chromebook with the student account that changed the language and then change the default in the system settings. You can do this will the following steps:

  1. Sign in to the laptop with the student account that changed the system settings.

  2. At the bottom left, click the time area.

  3. Select Settings Gear. -> click Advanced.

  4. In the "Languages and inputs" section, select Languages.

  5. To change your Chromebook's language, next to "Device language," select Change.

  6. Type or choose your preferred language.

  7. Select Confirm and restart.



    The other option to reset the default language is to sign in with another student's email that has not used this Chromebook. This will reset it to English.
