  • To use this guide, you must have a Skype for Business sign-in name and password from an organization that uses Microsoft 365 Apps for business.
  • If you're an Office 365 admin, see Troubleshooting Skype for Business Online sign-in issues for admins.

We'll begin by asking you questions about your installation and the symptoms you're experiencing. Then we'll take you through a series of troubleshooting steps and configuration checks that are specific to your situation.

Important

Some troubleshooting steps are different depending on the type of installation you have. Please complete each troubleshooting step, even if it doesn't seem to apply to you.

The amount of time you spend will depend on the type of installation you have, and the causes of your sign-in issues.

Test your sign-in credentials

The first step is to try to sign in with your credentials in another location: Microsoft 365 Web Scheduler.

In most cases, both your sign-in address and user name look like one of these examples:

  • someone@example.com
  • someone@example.onmicrosoft.com

Can you sign in to Microsoft 365 Web Scheduler at https://sched.lync.com?

  • If yes, see Sign in with your corrected sign-in address.
  • If no, see Can't sign in to Microsoft 365 Web Scheduler.
  • If you forgot your password, see Contact your workplace technical support for a new password.

Sign in with your corrected sign-in address

If you're able to successfully sign in to Microsoft 365 Web Scheduler, try signing in again with the same type of credentials:

someone@example.com or someone@example.onmicrosoft.com

Were you able to sign in?

  • If yes, congratulations, you've resolved your sign-in issue!
  • If no and you need both a sign-in address and user ID, see Enter your user ID.
  • If no, and you got some other error, see Contact your workplace technical support for a new password.

Contact your workplace technical support for a new password

If you've forgotten your password or it's no longer working, use the Microsoft Online Password Reset site to request a new password from your workplace technical support team- typically the people who set up your account for you.

Important

If the password reset site doesn't work for you, contact your workplace tech support team directly.

Once you have a new password, try signing in again.
