Windows Security: Verify That Both User Name And Password Are Correct
Jul 29, 2009
I just tried to open my Window Mail and got a message window that said: Windows Security: Please verify that both the user name and password are correct for your mail server. It then wants you to type your username and password into two blocks. It then has a check block that says "Remember My Credentials". Then OK or Cancel. This is the first time I have seen this when I open Windows Mail. Is this something new or is this some kind of virus/malware?
I have seen several threads, but haven't solved this problem yet. Here are the details: Logon to IMAP.aol.com (Aol account through cable provider). Please verify that both the username and password are correct for your mail server. It won?t take the valid info. And when canceling, I get this message:
Account: 'IMAP.aol.com (1)', Server: 'IMAP.aol.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Bad login. Incorrect name and/or password, please re-enter.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90,Error Number: 0x800CCC92
I'm trying to set up Windows Mail and Outlook 2007 to use an email box in a new website. I have two email boxes with different passwords on the same site. The first account in Windows Mail worked... but the second, set up the same way, will not. I get repeated Windows Security dialog boxes with "verify user name and password" until I cancel the dialog which returns the following error:
Account: 'mail.mysite.org (1)', Server: 'mail.mysite.org', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR authorization failed', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
I'm using Vista 64-bit which has always been exceedingly careful about what programs it will allow to run... but the places to adjust that are obscure. Is the problem in Vista-64 security setting? Turning off the Norton Internet security makes no difference. If I import the one account that works in Windows Mail into Outlook 2007 (and check that all of the settings are correct) it doesn't work in Outlook. The same endless Security dialog occurs.
When receiving mail, it asks me to verify username and password. Everytime i put in the correct information and it keeps asking me to verify. I can send mail fine.
I have used windows mail for years.I have never had to enter an username or password. When I push the icon to send and receive a windows security message box pops up and asks me for my username and password.I don't have one.I have never had one.I have used the same antivirus for years.I have email scanning turned off in the antivirus software.When I right click on the box I don't get anything except options to move or close. I have tried all my normal usernames and passwords and nothing happens.I close out the window and I do get all my messages coming in.I can not send any out.This happened after downloading window updates.I am on dialup and I am behind on the updates. If I delete the account will I lose all the emails?I am at my wits end with this because I am in diresct sales and I can't send out my newsletters to my customers!I can't send emails to my friends and family. I have to use another email account for all those things now.
when i press send / receive a windows security window opens asking for my user name and password but when i type them in it just clears and asks for user name and password again. I have checked the accounts and user name and password are correct, i have even tried changing the password but to no avail. If i press cancel an error message comes up saying invalid user name or password. I have had no problems with windows mail before on this computer and its nearly 10 months old running vista and norton 360.
I have been trying to send some emails to an instructor, but each time the windows security setting pops up and prompts for my username and password... I have given the correct one each time, but it just phases out and pops back up querying again. Who do I talk to regarding finding out what the username password are>?
I have Vista Home Premium on an Acer Laptop and all was fine until I decided to change my user password. I had or have (who knows now at this stage) an Administrator,User and HDD password installed on my machine. I went into my setup and changed my user password from set to clear but left my other passwords at set. when I exited and saved changes and rebooted I could not get back in with any and all passwords. To make things worse I cannot boot from cd either. It goes to press <F2> go to setup , Enter Current Password: ? then Invalad password I have tried the F10, F12, Del, F5, F8 keys and nothing seems to get past that login screen. Does anyone have any inexpensive suggestions on how I can get into this computer, or how I can get to a command prompt. Can I un-solder the internal Battery and then re attach it.
I am using Windows Mail on a Vista Ultimate system. My wife's and my mail files have been active for a year through our local Road Runner provider. now suddenly today "Windows Security" is requiring that we provide our usernames and passwords to be allowed to get to our mailboxes. Is this a Windows mail issue or a Road Runner mailbox issue?
Is there any type of software that completly protects USB thumb drives. I mean encrypts contents and wont even let you format without the correct password?
I have created a task to start my Folding@Home client when the computer starts (the SMP client won't run as a service yet). The FAH client needs to run as admin, so I checked the "Run with highest privileges" box, enabled the option to run whether user is logged in or not and entered my user and password when prompted. If I run the task manually it starts and runs correctly.
When the computer is restarted, the client does not start and an error message is waiting in Task Scheduler as follows:Event ID: 101 OP Code: 6619136 Error Value: 2147943726When initially setting this up, I remember the error message saying something about a bad username/password. That isn't in the Task Scheduler history though. If I open the task and simply resave it (changing nothing, but entering username/password again), the task will start manually. This is so close, but very frustrating that such a simple task won't quite work.
I have a few computers in my home network (all Ethernet, not wireless). I can't log onto my wife's Vista Home Premium (named tonis-acer) from my Vista Home Premium (PaulsAcerLaptop), another Home Premium laptop, my Windows 7 beta laptop, or an XP Pro laptop.
I login in as: User name: Toni password: abc1234 (not really)
response: User name: PaulsAcerLaptop oni password: unchanged small window: "Logon unsuccessful", etc.
A friend of my sisters has asked me to look at her PC, as it keeps "just crashing". A thorugh technical description to help I know!.However, I have found that the PC, which is running Vista Home Premium, has 3 user accounts.
1) Admin account with password 2) Standard User 3) Guest
I can not log into the admin account as I do not have the password, and my sisters friend is unreachable.The standard user account, wont letme do anything remotely techy, or use any system tools, or install my own PC diagnostic tools. The user account doesn't have the correct permission. It wont even update any of the virus definitions with out asking for the password.I have a copy of Active Password changer, that I have used in the past in these circumstances, but the PC was bought from a big retail chain, and has been set up with the usual hidden partion with important files on it. So Active Password Changer can not see the partion with the SAM database on it to change the admin password.
Although there is probably a thead elsewhere with a solution i think perhaps my problem will be slightly different. My grandmother has forgotten her password to log on to her desktop. i find this very strange do to the fact that we were just on the computer last night, and i know for a fact that we both havent forgotten the password. Because ive actually used it to log on as well. But now the pc is saying the user name or password is incorrect,(strange)
She is WV. Home Prem. of corse the caps lock is off, i havent tried f2,f8,f10 or whatever f-button during restart because im not sure that will help anything. no vista cd in the house. and here is where we run into the dead end...................
My wife has done something to the windows mail and every time I try to get my new e-mails a box appears asking for my user name and password. I've tried using the check box to remember my details but this doesn't help as the next time I try to download messages the box appears again. How to get rid of this security box?
I am running Vista Home Premium/IE8 and using the free version of CCleaner 2.29.1111. When I use CCleaner it deletes user name and password so then I have to re enter those items. The box for Autocomplete form history in CCleaner is greyed out but unchecked and in IE8/tools/contents/autocomplete settings all boxes are checked excepts feeds.
As a total novice at Vista and a new machine purchased I am keen to keep my son from getting inside this pc. He is always changing various settings without asking so I have tried to set his account to Standard User but he still seems to be getting past that to set himself as an Administrator. I have a password set on my account as Administrator so I do not understand how he is getting past this security. He is proficient at working pc's so when I ask him how he does he just says "I am good". Does he have a way of bypassing the user setting I have given him or does he know my password if the latter then easy to fix but if he has a way to bypass this then what can I do to stop it if anything?
if not, admin is welcome to move it. This is NOT intended to be another "Best Security Suite" discussion. My current McAfee Security subscription is running out in a couple of months, and I am considering my options. Scanning the supplier's homepages, you see all types of claims and functions, marketed under innovative names, but very little about things like logs, firewall settings and user control in general. Though I may get answers by the manufacturers themselves, if I manage to find their email addresses, I thought it perhaps easier to ask the users on the forum. This will also allow others to see the answers.
I am looking for a product keeping good logs, both for AV and firewall, preferably possible to save. I also want the suite to ask me for decisions, but as I am far from an expert, I like it to suggest an answer. I do not want to make the firewall rules myself, and I like to be able to turn off all the questions if I like to, getting notifications instead. Then I want to be able to go back and remove program entries and change the rules myself. I also would like to be able to release or tighten on the protection level.
I am targeting the following (and no else, apart from my current McAfee):ESET Smart Security Avira Premium Security Suite Norton Internet Security 2009 Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 So, what logs and controls are there in these? Please do not make this a discussion of best, but personal experiences of the suites are, of course, much welcome.
I am an MCSE and would consider myself pretty savy overall, but this particular problem (which exists in my home network) has me frustrated. I have a PC running Vista Ultimate x64. Attached to that PC (via USB) is a HP Photosmart C3180. My wife's laptop is running XP Professional x86. I am trying to allow her to print to the printer attached to my Vista x64 PC.
I install the printer properly and confirm it working on my Vista x64 PC. I then share it out under the name HPC3180. I disable password protected sharing and under the security settings of the printer I give "Anonymous Logon" permission to access the printer. I know generally I would have to specify the x86 version of the driver under the "Additional Drivers" area in the properties of the printer; but in this case I do not know where to get the .INF files. I can download the drivers for the 32 bit version of XP from HP's site, but they aren't self extracting EXE files so I cannot get the INF file out of them to use. I even tried setting it up (on XP x86 laptop) as a "Local Printer" with a "Local Port" that points the printer. I then tried to use a variety of older and generic drivers. At worst it refused to print entirely. At best I got some sort of seemingly random output from the printer.
I have Vista 32bit sp2, IE8 and WindowsMail. I had this problem on my XP/Outlook Express machine and found an answer, but can't find one for WindowsMail. Please note that I have had this set-up for several months and never incurred this problem. Even earlier today everything was working fine.
It looks as if I can send messages, but when I click on send/receive button to receive messages I get a screen asking for my username and password. I have it set to remember in 'tools' 'accounts', but it isn't remembering it.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix it. I have POP3 and use Embarqmail which is now called CenturyLink.
I am using Filezilla server on Vista and client on a linux box. I can connect with the user but the password keeps saying invalid. The case doesn't matter and If I remove the password from that Vista account and don't use one it still says invalid password.
In order to understand my problem first let me describe wonderful world I was in XP professional.
1. I had two laptops running XP professional. They were member of domain say XXX.
2. In both laptops on Cdrive I had shared folder myPrivateData
3. In office (while connected to domain) both laptop could see shared folders of each other.
4. In home I signed on with cashed credentials of domain and could operate as peer to peer network without any problem. (i.e. I signed on using domainnameuserid profile)
Problem:
My problem started when I replaced one laptop with new laptop installed with vista business 64............
When opening Windows Mail the login pop-up window keeps asking for user name and password. It doesn't stop, even when correct data entered. This started by itself - does anyone have a solution?
I'm trying to use the Stored User Name and Passwords functionality so that I get automatically logged into sites. I've added details for my hotmail account, i.e.
Log on to = www.hotmail.com User name = my hotmail email account Password = my hotmail password
When I start IE and go to Hotmail I do not get logged on automatically. Am I missing something or have I misunderstood what the stored user names and password functionality should do?
I just started using Windows Mail and it was receiving mail fine until I went to send and now I get an error code and it is asking me for my user name and password... which I never set up!Here is the code: Account: 'pop.secureserver.net(1)', Server: 'pop.secureserver.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR authorization first', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18
When I turn my computer on, I get the message password or user name do not match. So, click the arrow to bring up accounts. I get Admin account and user account. There is also a second admin account. What is the story with that? Can be removed? When I log out of admin I then only get admin and user account to sign in.
I have a little problem trying to log on to my linux server on my windows 2003 network, using a Vista Basic PC. The others PC using XP Pro and XP home are able to open the linux server and log on succesfully. When I click twice on the icon thw usual window asking the user and password. Allways receive the same message,,, invalid user or password.
i just got vista and my cousin et up the accounts and my sister is the administrator. I wanted to download something from the web but i needed administrative permisisons, and seeing that my sister can be a total $@#^% sometimes she won't let me change me to the administrator for awhiel whiel id ownload the thing. I tried to figure out her password but no luck. I searched the web trying to see if there was a way around it, but nothing helped. Can anybody tell me if if can do something here?
I just got a new laptop with Vista. I can not utilize the "Windows Mail" because it will not let me log on. I did the step by step setting up instructions. Now I get a window for my user ID and Password. I put it in, and it repeadeatly reappears. I am disappointed because one of the things I use a PC for most, is my E-mail. I loved my MSN mail with all the special features I had with it. I can not do ANY of what I did with hotmail. Does anyone know how I can get into windows mail, or how to get my MSN back!?.
