Chromebooks are powered by ChromeOS, an operating system developed by Google. While ChromeOS lets you browse your device as a guest, you’ll need a Google account if you’d like to sync your data and access Google services. Since you access your Chromebook using a Google account, your Google account password is also your Chromebook’s password.
We’ll show you how you can change your Google account password using a Chromebook, thereby changing the password for your Chromebook.
How to Change the Password on a Chromebook
To change the password on your Chromebook, follow the steps below:
The next time you attempt to log in to your Chromebook, you’ll have to enter the new password you just set. If you don’t remember the credentials for your Google account, you’ll have toreset your passwordto change it.
Also, since you have to change your Google account password to change your Chromebook password, you can use any device to make the change.
However, if you change your password on a device other than a Chromebook, you will need to log in to your Chromebook with your old password once so that your device can sync the change. Next time you sign in, you’ll need to use your new password.
Changing your Google account password requires you to log into the Google services again on all the devices where your account is currently logged in. So bear that in mind.
Successfully Change Your Chromebook Password
Changing your Google account password also changes your Chromebook password. Hopefully, you now have a clear understanding of how you can change your Google account password to access your Chromebook with a new, secure password.
When setting a new password, you must come up with a strong password for your Google account.
