Have you changed your Griffith Password?
You will need to reset your Skype for Business password when changing your Griffith Single Sign-on password.
Skype for Business automatically logs in using your old password, which will cause you to be locked out of Griffith Single sign-on accounts including WiFi. This issue will be resolved when the new version of Skype for Business is released.
Have you used Skype (consumer)?
Skype for Business and Skype (consumer) can run simultaneously, but they must have a different email account.
