Won't Remember Password Ask For It Again And Again
Apr 13, 2005
I have a HP Pavillion a845w, which is running Microsoft XP Home. I am running a program called Ceres (uses internet explorer) and even though I have told windows to remember my username and password, it still pops up everytime and ask for it. This wouldn't bother me too much, but other programs I use off a server which require a login also refuse to work. I have to go into that drive and type in the password before windows allows me to open it. I have reset the password option many times, but still no luck.
When I log into a website the computer is not asking me if I want the computer to remember the password and username so that I don't have to type it again the next time that I visit the same website! The problem is only in IE cause in MSN explorer is still asking me.
hello, on my computer my 8 yr old put a account on it which was fine, it is a admi. account, well today she changed the password to get in from the welcome window, well is there a way i can get in it and change the password better yet take it off? we are using xp home.
What are the most common causes for web sites to NOT remember me (name/password) when told to do so by checking their web form? In IE, I've got "Privacy" set to medium and "Override automatic cookie handling" unchecked. It's a bummer to re-enter that stuff each time.
Outlook 2003 on windows xp asks every now and then(30 MINS or so)my password but does not remember it even if I check the remember me box, if not given it throughs me offline and I can not send or recieve untill I put myself manually online again and then it starts all over again.
I am running on microsoft exchange server(at work)
I have a PC with Windows XP. It has been sitting in the closet, and now I would like to use the PC. The problem is that I do not remember the user account password.A simple way to reset the user account password?
Ubuntu 7.10 desktop server with Samba server and smb user ina with setup password with "smbpasswd -a ina" and smb user masterdam79 with setup password with "smbpasswd -a masterdam79"
Windows Vista (Home Premium) desktop with windows user "masterdam79"
Windows XP (Home) Laptop with windows user "ina"
[PROBLEMS SOLVED]
Am now able to access the Samba shares from my Windows Vista machine WITHOUT entering username/password for my Samba user because I made a Samba user equal to my Vista windows user "masterdam79".
I WAS able to select the "Remember my password" checkbox on my Vista machine, first time I logged on into the Ubuntu server and now I never have to type in the credentials again on that machine.
A friend of mine gave me an old Laptop Inspiron 7500. She can not remember her password or user name. We got it to safe mode but it still continues to ask for password/username when windows 2000 loads.
I set up a new email account, and checked "Remember Password", but it doesn't remember.
I found a Microsoft article telling me that if my outlook 2000 installation is internet mail only (which apparently it is), I will need to change the registry value for "SMTP Prompt for Password" to 1. This didn't help.
When on any website, I can no longer use the remember name and password feature, nor do some things on webpages appear like they used to. I can't remember what they are called, but to explain, you can see by going to www.greenhills.net on this site, there should be pictures with links to a car dealership, and various other things. The only thing I see on my computer at home is the picture of the company, and the few nderlined links at the bottom of the page and the google search. Nothing to the left or right of the picture. It doesn't matter if I'm using IE or Firefox.I've been through the tools and security all javascripting boxes are checked.
I dont know if this is a comcast issue or a windows xp issue.
I type my password in and username at the login prompt on comcast webmail website. I check the box to "remember this password" and when i close Internet explorer and come back, it doesnt remember me.
Ive tried renewing my internet connection, delete all cache + temp files, and clearing my history.
I've reinstalled my computer with Windows XP SP2 instead of Windows 2000.I used to have a "remember username and password" in Windows 2000 that I no longer see.For example, when I now log in into MS Messenger, I need to reenter username and password with each login, and the check box that I used to have in W2K is gone.Another example, is web sites. I have username and password for certain web sites. Now that the check box is gone,I need to reenter the credentiald with each log in.In the new login windows, there is only a drop down list with a user icon next to the username field.But this drop down list is empty.
At my job, we use Xp. We have it set up to were you have to log into windows. We use a genral username, and have it set to where we don't type the pssword. Well, recently someone has entered a username after startup that shouldn't have been entered and it wiped away the main username. We cannot remeber the username, nor can we log in as admin.
HOW DO you activate the remember me square on a lot of sites. I check the square and I come back and I have to check it all over again. It does not seem to hold.
Trouble remembering my folder views/settings. For example, I can set my folder to view Tiles or List or Details, but when I go back, it resets the view to what Windows chooses. Also, my quicklaunch bar won't remember the order of icons. After I change which icons I want where, it resets after a system restart.
So far, I have already tried deleting the BagsMRU key from the registry to reset the folder views. Also, I have already played around with the "remember folder settings" option in folder views. I have also tried a program called MRUBlaster to reset the settings. And, if I choose "set all folders to this view" setting, it works, but if I change the view later, it won't remember it
I use XP Home, SP2. When I try to read the NYTimes online, I am asked for my id and password again and again. I have checked the box indicating windows should remember my info. It happens also with some other sites, but not all.
I accidently turned of that Quicksomething feature window that pops up the first time u open internet explorer and it remembers all the terms you have previously search for. like at google, next time u come back and start typing the thing u want to search for it will show a drop down list with al the things you ahve searched for
A couple of problems here. When I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, I only get the Tasks that are running. I used to get the Task Manager with all the tabs - applications, processes, performance, networking, and users. Now, nothing. I don't remember changing anything that would affect this. Because of this, I can't shut down applications that screw up or ones that I want to turn off for a specific period.
Win XP doesn't remember which of my two screens, and where on the screen, to open one particular program (Adobe Camera Raw). It doesn't have problems with any other program, nor do other users of ACR I have communicated with appear to have the same problem. Where does Windows store the information that tells it where to open a particular program? Is there a way to reset this information, or force Windows to remember a particular location? I am assuming this involves tinkering with the registry, but I don't know where in the registry to look.
This is a very simple matter. I have always had an icon on my taskbar for accessing my desktop that I use quite often. Its been there so long that I can't remember if I put it there or if it came that way on the computer. Tonight, the icon had changed and when I clicked on it, I got the little flashlight and asked if I wanted to search. Grrrr. Not the end of the world but I would really like to have it back.
My PC won't remember usernames and passwords though it prompts me to save them after each time i login.
I have turned it off in Autocomplete and put it back on and no effect.
i did some changes in the control panel as advised by a website to boost game speed. One of these was to go into the control panel and then admin tools and system and disable some of the automatic loaded programs.
I have also lost the windows xp theme and cannots ee how to restore it.The option is no longer present in the themes available.
I have several e-mail accounts set up in Outlook on my desktop that I want to port over to a new laptop. It will save me the trouble of having to re-create them all over again on the laptop, plus I'm not sure I can remember all the passwords. On the MS website I've searched for "export email accounts" and several variations on that but have come up with nothing. The only thing I can find is how to import the accounts from Outlook Express into Outlook, which is not what I'm looking for.
I have Windows XP Pro installed on IBM T60 Laptop.Whenever I start the Laptop up,the Windows Security Sey up Wizard appears and I wish to stop this appearing every time.In addition,if I fill in my Windows password on the security wizard the system says that I am using the incorrect password.Please can someone advise me how to solve these problems.
