Having Issues?
I forgot my password. How do I reset it?

I get the message, “Oops... something went wrong”, what do I do?
- Select Start Over and try again
What’s the different between a Sponsored Guest and a Guest?
- A Sponsored Guest is a guest who requires more than one day of Wi-Fi and/or access to select CBE resources
- Guest is for basic web access only. There is restricted filtering and users cannot access CBE internal files
How many personal devices can I connect at the same time ?
- Ensure that you have not entered any extra spaces or other characters as the system will count these as part of your password and fail.
- The Guest network can connect an unlimited number of devices
- For Staff, Students and Sponsored Guests, only 2 devices can be connected to CBE My Devices simultaneously
If I try to type in my Wi-Fi Key, I keep getting an 'Incorrect password for CBE My Devices.'
- If the issues persists, Forget the CBE My Devices network, wait for 60 minutes and try signing in again.
Safety
The safety and security of our students is always our top priority. This includes online safety. Here’s how we’re keeping students safe when they use our technology or internet:
- Our Wi-Fi procedures adhere to the most recent safety standards established by Health Canada.
- We have implemented a role based content filtering system.
- Our schools have been asked to develop and implement digital citizenship plans that ensure both staff and students have the knowledge and skills to use the internet safely and appropriately. For more information on your school’s plan, contact your school’s administrator.
