Top 3 Reasons Why You Could be Locked Out of Your EAD Account
Reason 1: You entered the password incorrectly 6 times.
- Always use a password that is easy for you to remember, but would be difficult for anyone else to use.
REMINDER:
- Never give your password to someone else.
- Do not write down your password and leave it in a location that cannot be locked.
Reason 2: You recently updated your EAD password, but did not update your password manager.
- You should type in your password each time you need to sign in using your EAD username or district email and password.
- However, if you are going to use a saved password feature such as the Google Password Manager for your district account, remember to update your password when prompted.
REMINDER: All district teachers, students, and staff should be signing into Dallas ISD Portal to access their applications.
Reason 3: You attended training or used another computer and only locked or logged out of the computer.
- After using a computer in a training lab or a computer that is not your personal district computer, always restart the computer to break the connection.
If you are ever locked out of your EAD account, you can call the Help Desk to get your account unlocked or wait 15 minutes for the account to unlock itself.
Help Desk Hours:
Monday – Thursday
7 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Friday
7 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Which WIFI network should I be connected to?
Teachers and staff needing to access district WIFI while in administrative buildings should be connected to DISDWIFI.
- DISDWIFI provides access to the internet as well as other internal services and applications such as Oracle and PaperCut.
- Teachers and staff should not be connected to DISDGLOBAL and should disconnect and 'forget' that WIFI network on their district computers.
Students needing to access district WIFI while on campus should be connected to DISD-Global.
