Commonly Reported IT Problems

Please try these suggestions before contacting us. These are common fixes that solve the majority of the problems that customers contact us to report:

  1. Restart your device.
  2. Check the Technology Solutions Service Status Page to see if the problem is related to their services.
  3. Clear your browser cache and cookies.
  4. For password issues, visit identity.uillinois.edu, select "I forgot my password", and use your recovery options to reset your password.
