I use a Mac. I just changed my password and now I cannot connect to the wireless.
You need to clear-out your keychain. Turn-off your Airport. Click on your Desktop. Select Go at the top of the screen > Utilities > Keychain Access. In the Categories section, select Passwords. Delete your Network Password (jonesfiles.campus.wm.edu).
If this does not work, you may also need to delete your user profile. To do so, go to System Preferences > Airport > Advanced. Select the tab 802.1X. You will see a list of User Profiles. Select your William & Mary Profile (W-M_Wireless...) and hit the minus button to remove. Click OK and Apply.
I changed my W&M account's password from home. Now my work laptop won't let me login.
Until you can connect to wired W&M network continue to login to your laptop with your old password. To update your login on your laptop, you have to connect via a wired connection to the W&M Network. At that point your computer will sync with your new password. You should use your new password on web sites that require a W&M username to login.

Once you've set-up your W&M username, you can access your Google Workspace account by going to www.email.wm.edu or through myWM. Newly admitted students may need to wait 24 hours after depositing to access Google Workspace.
