Glitches

My password doesn't work
the page closes after I hit next

my battery is dying

I can't view the page

it says I need a plugin

I don't have access to view the page

I am in the wrong class

I am not in a class

I don't know what to do

It is the wrong language

The page won't load

I have no internet

It deleted my information
