• Windows 7 professional - connection failure: unknown username or bad password.

  I have new xps computers 8700 identical Dell running windows 7 Professional.  The new dells replace the old dell dimension computers Windows XP Edition Professional.  I traced a drive 'f:' of network easily to my server from windows 2000 of the first Windows 7 Professional machine.  But when I tried to map the "f:" network drive on my windows 2000 Professional 2nd new windows machine Server 7 I got the following message: "connection failure: unknown username or bad password."  The computers are identical.  After the introduction of the first professional machine of windows 7 with success and mapping the drive "f:" on my server, I cloned the drive hard so that all my apps and settings would be the same on the second Professional machine of windows 7.   I tried to change the 2nd windows 7 professional name of the computer, but I still regularly get the "connection failure: unknown username or bad password."  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

• Connection failure: unknown username or bad password

  I use Thunderbird without problem for businesses for nearly eight years. I currently run at the top of a tower with Windows 7 Pro. There is only a single account/e-mail address on Thunderbird.

  This morning when I went to check my e-mail I have my password is requested, then received the error 'sending of password did not. Mail server exchange.company.com replied: connection failure: unknown username or bad password. "I retried the password, restart Thunderbird and tried again, but still not received the same error. I sent an email from Thunderbird test which was very good. I am also able to connect to the server via web browser and I am able to send and receive emails on my mobile device.

  I erased all the saved passwords of Thunderbird and I checked account settings, but I am still unable to download any email Thunderbird.

  Apart from the deletion of the account, I don't really know what to do here. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

  The problem has been resolved. Apparently the POP stack had to be reset by the side of the Exchange.

  I hope this helps someone in the future...

• Unable to connect to a Samba file server. error "the connection failure: unknown username or bad password?"

  Original title: I can't connect to a server to Samba from Windows 7 files

  I used to use a Mac machine to connect to a file server Samba as smb://myfileserver.mycompany. Now I use a PC with Windows 7 Professional and when I write the address on Explorer as \\myfileserver.mycompany it opens a pop-up to enter my credentials, but when I put my authentication information and click ok, it reminds me the pop-up to try again with a message stating "connection failure: unknown username or bad password.'. '.

  I tried several times but still the same result.

  Is there another way to do this?

  Is there a third party app that will do this job?

  Thank you.

• ERROR: Connection failure: unknown username or bad password

  Whenever I want too run a .exe field or a program that requires administrative permissions, I type my password using the account control user, but instead of just let me through it come up with this error:

  Connection failure: unknown username or bad password.

  I searched for fixes, but have not found one that works.

  This was a very big problem I am a player computer and all the games I have, have the administrative sign (shield) and or are .exe files.

  This has happened for about 3 or 4 months now... It really gets me upset. Since there is no way to shut off User Account Control (UAC) without opening UAC itself...

• Vista SP 2 and DFS = logon failure: unknown username or bad password.

  After updated a few customers today to this service pack level, they could no longer reach the namespace which worked just.  I have a mix of XP SP3, Vista SP1, SP2 and Windows 7 clients.  All clients are x 86 with the exception of the Win 7.  This error message and the problem is only affecting customers who have been updated to SP2 on Vista.  All other clients work as expected.  They can reach the root server and use DFS.  What is very interesting is, if I'm fast enough, I can't open the way and navigate files briefly before he launched me.  Trying to go back the namespace, I am prompted with:

  U:\ is not accessible

  Connection failure: unknown username or bad password.

  After rolling back to SP1, everything works fine.  What should I do to get the latest updates and also use DFS?

  Thank you

• I have an error message "connection failed: unknown username or bad password" when I try to sign int to the administrator account.

  Original title: log on failure

  Whenever I get the administrative password to say update Java, of he always says "connection failed: unknown username or bad password". I know with more certainty that the password is correct. Any help here?

  Sorry if this wrong topic.
  Thank you!

  My account is a regular account. An admin account is active.

  Having only one administrator account puts you in a precarious position because it leaves you with no alternative in case something goes wrong with this unique account. What happens when you try these options:

  • Keep her tapping F8 during startup, and then start safe mode.
  • Keep her tapping F8 during startup, and then start in Repair Mode.

  Can you log in under the admin account in one or two of these cases?

  For how long have you had this problem?

  Hi, Gary Gross,.

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  I suggest that you disable the password protected sharing on vista computer and check if it works.

  To turn off password protected sharing, follow these steps:

  (a) open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.

  (b) subject sharing and discovery, click the arrow next to password protected sharing.

  (c) click turn off password protected sharing, and then click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

• Win7 can't access admin. I get the newspaper name failure unknown user or bad password

  I tried the suggestion in another of those posts – forgiveness have misplaced the address - there were 16 separate actions to activate passwords be reset.

  In point 8 - cd/d C:\windows sethc.exe - enter. I crush sethc.exe? Yes/No/all

  When I opted for Yes, I managed to complete the process, but I still had the problem.

  On the second try, I used ALL 8 point and at the end no copy\sethc.exe 15 - got - file not found.

  I find myself with only a user account and I am unable to make changes to the computer, including new programs running.

  You must now press the left SHIFT key 5 times when you are prompted to log on. This will create a black console screen where you can use the "net use" command to reset your password.

  When you're done, plan in advance and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. Running Windows with a single administrator account is risky, as you find yourself.
