If you unintentionally selected Xfinity (hotspot) wifi when you got it home and you can’t cancel the login box and select your wifi, it will need to be power washed or you can try rebooting.

To reboot a Chromebook press the refresh key and the power key at the same time.  The refresh key is the fourth key from the left on the top row.

If you do have Xfinity, you need to enter your Xfinity user ID and password (usually email login) to access the internet using the Xfinity wifi.

If none of the solutions work, please bring it by District Office for a reset (powerwash).
