Q: When I attempt to log in to a laboratory computer, an error
message indicates that my account has been locked out. Why? And what
should I do about it? A: This probably occurred because you attempted to log
in with the wrong username and/or password too many times. Please contact
Brian Mantenuto or
Claire Reardon
Q: I am able to log in to an instrument, but the same username
and password doesn’t work on the Calcium scheduling software. Why
not? A: These two systems are completely independent of one
another. If you have been authorized to use an instrument or laboratory
computer, you will have received two separate accounts with distinct
usernames and passwords.
Q: I already have access to some instruments. How do I get access
to more instruments? A: First, you must be trained on each instrument. Once
trained, a center staff member will request that your network account
have access privileges to the additional instruments.

Card Access to Laboratories
Q: When I swipe my Harvard ID in the card reader, the green
LED flashes, but the door handle is still locked. What should I do? A: After swiping your card, try the handle once,
let go, and then try a second time. If this does not work, then contact
Building Operations in Fairchild Room 014.
Q: When I swipe my Harvard ID card in the card reader, the green
LED does not flash. Why not? A: One of a few things may be causing the trouble: Your

activated, or your Harvard ID number has changed. Please contact Claire Reardon.
