Frequently Asked Question
I know my username and password are correct, but I still can't log in. What should I do?
Symptoms
You may experience one or more of the following:
- "Invalid username or password" even though you're entering the correct credentials.
- The login page refreshes without signing you in.
- The page appears stuck after clicking Log In.
- Login works on another device but not your current browser.
Step 1 – Double-Check Your Credentials
Before troubleshooting your browser, verify:
- Your username is entered exactly as provided.
- Passwords are case-sensitive.
- Make sure Caps Lock is not enabled.
- Avoid accidentally copying or pasting extra spaces before or after your username or password.
Step 2 – Open a Private/Incognito Window (Recommended)
The quickest way to determine if the issue is browser-related is to use a private browsing session.
Google Chrome
- Click the three dots in the upper-right corner.
- Select New Incognito Window.
- Navigate to:
- Enter your credentials and try logging in.
Microsoft Edge
- Click the three dots.
- Select New InPrivate Window.
- Go to:
- Try logging in again.
Mozilla Firefox
- Click the menu button.
- Select New Private Window.
- Visit the Help Desk login page and try again.
Why This Works
Private browsing starts a fresh browser session without using:
- Cached website data
- Saved cookies
- Old login sessions
- Browser extensions that may interfere with authentication
If you can log in successfully using a private window, the issue is most likely related to your browser rather than your account.
Step 3 – Clear Your Browser Cache and Cookies
If logging in works in a private window but not in your normal browser:
- Clear your browser's cache and cookies.
- Close all browser windows.
- Reopen your browser.
- Try logging in again.
Step 4 – Try Another Browser
If the issue continues:
- Google Chrome
- Microsoft Edge
- Mozilla Firefox
Trying another browser helps determine whether the issue is browser-specific.
