How to change your GCS Password

  • You are now able to use the Change password option in Office 365!
 
  • If you are logged into the COMPUTER AND you are inside one of our buildings - Press CTRL-ALT-DEL and select the CHANGE A PASSWORD option.  This will ONLY work if your computer belongs to the Greeneville City Schools AND you are INSIDE one of our buildings!

  • If you used office.gcschools.net to change your password from OUTSIDE our network AND you are using a computer that belongs to the Greeneville City Schools, you will still have to use your OLD password to login to the computer and then your NEW password will work for everything else.  You will have to do this until your computer comes inside our network to sync your new password.
