I'm pretty decent with tech. I definitely know to turn things off and on again, check wifi connection, etc. I'm good with troubleshooting and such, but the IT person at my work who I interact with most treats me like I'm SO DUMB. But I try to remind myself that there are probably so many people who don't know where the power button is on any of their devices lol.
An example: I get logged out of an account on my computer, so I go to reset my password. The password reset requires an account number that I don't have
Message to IT: hey, I need to reset my password for this program, can you send me the account number for it?
IT: on the main login page, beneath the password bar, there should be a link that says "forgot password?" Click that and you should be able to reset it
Me: ๐ explains that if you click on that link it requires you to enter account number to reset it
IT: oh
I can relate to that for sure. I've found that often it helps writing out all the obvious steps I've already tried for them so they don't waste too much of their time.
Then again, they might have a script they're forced to follow..
