Bypassing an Old Password on Chromebooks

If you are signing into a Chromebook and you see this screen:

   Screen saying that "Your password has changed since your last sign in" and then a text box asking for the old password 

 If you do not know your old password, look for these buttons in the lower right hand corner of the screen:

   Screenshot of lower right corner with two buttons, the one on the left says "Forgot old password" and the one on the right says "Next" 

Please click the "Forgot old password" button, which will lead you to this screen:

   Screenshot that says "Local data will be deleted. You can recover email name but local data will be deleted." In the lower right corner there are two buttons. The left button says, "Cancel", the right button says, "Continue anyway" 

Please click the "Continue anyway" button
