If you have NEVER accessed your gmail account, remember, you will need to change your password from any Carney workstation using [Ctrl][Alt][Delete] and selecting 'Change Password'. This will 'push' your password out to the GMail server. Do you want to keep your password? Windows won't let you do that, but here's a work-around: simply change it twice! Change it the first time to anything but your current password. Next, change it back to your current password.
Any time you change your password in the future (as is good practice), it will automatically sync with your gmail account in real time.
