1. You are in fact entering the wrong username and/or password. This often happens when students change their login information within the 'Profile' section of the course and forget. Sometimes this happens when the numeral one is confused with a lowercase L (1 vs l) or O's with zeros (O vs 0) in the e-mail containing login information. If you think this could be the case, try to copy and paste the information from the eMail directly into the login fields. If you are unsure of your login information, return to the login page and click the 'Forgot Password' link.
   
2. You are letting windows ‘auto-fill' your password and windows is remembering a wrong password. To fix this, simply delete whatever windows auto-fills are displayed and type your password in manually. If the passwords don't match up, windows will tell you with a pop up. Be sure to tell windows to remember the NEW password you just input after it is accepted.
