  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?

• 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?

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• connection failure: unknown username or bad password. Windows 7 computer tries to connect to Vista

  I bought a PC W7 and tries to connect to other computers on the network. I can connect to one, cannot connect to the other, but see them as well in the network and sharing Center/view network computers and devices. When I try to log into the device poor, the system automatically changes the ID of the user - I'm on ADMIN, try to connect to GUEST - it varies from my sign in COMMENTS to ADMIN_PC\GUEST.

  I connect to the local network of the W7 machine wireless. Vista machine I can connect is connected via the ethernet connection to the router. The machine, I can see, but cannot connect to is connected to a switch via ethernet and then connected by ethernet to the router.

  After reading discussion forums, it seems that this problem could be resolved through amendments to the local security policy - network security: LAN Manager authentication level, but I can't find where to do this.

  I'm at the end of my thether - I believed the hype and thought that W7 would be easy to use. What should I do to get this thing to work?

  You don't need to change anything with LAN Manager. The problem is probably related to point C below. Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

  Discovery of plug in the network
  Open the files and printers sharing
  Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
  Plug the password protected sharing

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. In XP, you can run the Network Setup Wizard or just enable file sharing / print in the Windows XP firewall exceptions. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

  Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory.

• the installation of itune + quick time I get a message that reads "no can access network location % data%\ app. »

  had 2 users on the computer with itunes on the desktop. main user itunes has stopped working, but the secondary users still worked. tried to update software with the latest version but get a message that reads "not access network location % data%\ app.

  This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.

  The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.  I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry way to create a point in http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/create-a-restore-point-for-windows-vistas-system-restore/ restoration system just to be on the safe side.

  Here are the steps to fix it.

  1. click on start, run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.

  2. look for the following registry key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

  3 remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.

  886549 KB http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549: Regedit open again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point to new, click expandable string value, type the value name that you want to restore (AppData) and then press ENTER. Right click on this value, click change, type the value in the value data for the value name box, and then click OK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming. Change it if necessary.

  Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key.  If this does not work without the full procedure, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.

  I hope this helps.  If not, post back with the results of what you tried.  Rear post anyway so we will know what happened.

  Good luck!

• I get a Firefox error message that says, "something tries to trick Firefox by accepting a security update. Please contact your network provider and ask for help. »

  I get a Firefox error message that says, "something tries to trick Firefox by accepting a security update. Please contact your network provider and ask for help. "Do you know what is happening here - what could be the problem? (I have the latest version of Firefox already installed. I previously got Firefox error messages indicating "Firefox update failed". However, I already have the latest version of Firefox installed when I got these error messages.)

  I think that we must hope that the problem will be resolved at the present time. If you see the error message again post in this thread. Also, it would be unusual get this message while trying not to update, but if you get if you try to copy and paste the details of console error that they can be useful.

  Use

  • keyboard Ctrl + Shif + J
  • or button-> Web Developer Firefox-> Console errors

  This kind of message is apparently the only normally expected when you try to update to Firefox. It seems strange that you get the message using a 'Œuvres' document, but others have reported this message seemingly random incidents.
  (So normally, you must clear the error console, and then try to update knowing the error messages have been the result of this attempt to update)

  If I had this problem my concern would be that some kind of malware may be involved, but the message can then indicate that all this malicious program is upset.

  I went to the system registry to find the file it refers and is not a he.  I ran a norton registry cleanup and a virus scan.  I did find something online that made reference to this dll file.  The message appears at any time that I start a new program.  How to fix this, or find the virus that is the cause.

  A Google search for "[insert the name of the file]" grown up nothing. When you get no hits for a filename on Google, chances are high that it is a malicious program file. You did not when you get the message. If it's only at startup, either you have uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In all cases, a reference has been left in the boot file. You can remove the reference by managing your startup. If you get the message during regular time on the computer and not not only at startup, your computer is still infected.

  Norton will do the job of cleaning and registry cleaners are garbage who at best will not do anything and the worst risk damage to your Windows installation.

  First of all, make sure that the computer is really free of virus/malware through these systematically - General malware removal steps http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware . Then, if the computer is really clean and you still receive the message, manage your Startup to remove the reference to the malware:

  Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

  This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".
