Over the summer the county office upgraded to the latest version of Pinnacle, which requires users’ passwords to be eight characters long.  However, most North Canton students have passwords that are only seven characters long.  Therefore it is necessary for us to give new passwords to any North Canton student who still has a seven character long password.

Instead of giving out completely new passwords, we are simply adding the number “1” to the end of any password that is currently seven characters long, to make it the needed eight character length.

For example: Cat3Dog would become Cat3Dog1

If a student already has an eight character long password (such as Cat3Dark) there will be no changes to the password.

These new passwords will go into effect at the start of the school year and will apply to the following services:

• Logging into school computers
• Accessing M:Drives
• Logging into all Google Apps services (Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar)
• Logging into the Pinnacle Internet Viewer (PIV)

If a student does not remember a password from last year, please contact a school staff member for assistance.
