Chromebook asks for Old Password to Unlock and Restore Local Data

When logging into a Chromebook you are prompted for an old password.

“To unlock and restore your local data, please enter your old Chromebook password.”

You can bypass this by selecting the “Forgot your old password?”

“Select ‘Forgot your old password?'”

You will get a message that reads “You may proceed, but only your synced data and settings will be restored. All local data will be lost.” You can select “Proceed Anyway”, no student data is stored locally on the chromebook.

Select ‘Proceed Anyway’
