• 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...

• 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...

  I'm running on a:

• 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. 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).

  XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  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.

• 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?

  Hey Amer,

  You can ignore this error message. You would usually encounter this problem if the Windows Backup tries to back up files in folders LocalLow, Contacts and research and these files are not present on your computer.

  Well, you also have an option to create or exclude files missing, listed in the error message.

  If you want to exclude this folder then please refer to the following steps.

  (a) in the backup section, click on "change settings".

  (b) in the dialog box Configure the backup , click Next.

  (c) in the 'you want to save ' dialog box, click on 'Let me choose ', then click on 'Next '.

  (d) navigate to the user profile folder displayed in the error message and clear the check box next to the folders.

  (e) save and exit.

  Hope the helps of information.

• A virtual machine or the template with the same name is already registered. Server error: the specified key name or identifier already exists.

  Hi all

  I have a 5.5 esxi server just the a virtual machine running at the moment. I try to clone this as shown below:

  http://nchrissos.WordPress.com/2013/04/22/cloning-a-VM-without-vCenter-in-ESXi-5-1-free-edition/

  However, I get the error:

  A virtual machine or the template with the same name is already registered. Server error: the specified key name or identifier already exists.

  I have no vcenter (yet), and it's just the 1 vm. The virtual machine is turned off. I get this error regardless of the name, I said that when I choose "add to the inventory.

  All advice appreciated.

  Thank you

  Oh dear...
  you read bad advice on the internet and then you get also the stupid advice here.

  Ignore both!

  If you want to clone a virtual machine by copying - do it like this:

  Create new virtual machine with the wizard.
  Skip creating a disk for new customers.

  In Datastorebrowser copy the original vmdk to the new dir, which has been created by the wizard.
  Reopen the new VM and edit - assign the vmdk that you just copied.

  The procedure of the blog is not supposed to work.
  Sissine trick doesn't make sense either

• Unable to connect to Wifi. No guest password when connecting

  Original title: no guest LAN password for my home network wifi unable to connect wireless, why am I not even invited to enter my password?

  I am trying to connect my two PCs to my wifi at home.  It has a requirement for password and my Apple devices can connect properly. I just don't get no guest password LAN and it fails to connect. PCs are fairly new and since the change of the password today, they have bee unable to connect.

  Matt,

  Please check the IP addresses defined on each of the computers.

  -Open the command prompt amd type ipconfig/all and press ENTER.

  Also try to ping the router from the computer and check if there is a good connection.

  - Ping 192.168.1.1 (if 192.168.1.1 is defined as the IP address of the router).

  If computers have starting with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx IP addresses then you will not be able to connect to the router wireless and the Internet. This address is called APIPA.

  You will have to perhaps release IP addresses and make sure.

  -In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER.

  ipconfig/release

  ipconfig/flushdns

  ipconfig / renew

  Please let us know the IP addresses defined on each computer and also the IP address it of the router.

• Sync 1 file server error

  I had a file I deleted my CC account, but since then the CC Server insists he is always there, even if it is not. I can't download any file with the same file name, and I'm getting harassing messages informing me that this file cannot be synchronized, even if there is nothing to synchronize. I wiped every thing in the CC folder and even went as much as reinstalling my computer. All other files and everything works fine, it's just that a file name that is particularly troublesome. There is nothing to sync and nothing to remove! How can I get rid of this file on the server CC?

  Please send me a private message with the names of the three files and a link for downloading the Core Sync log files.

  The location of each operating system are:

  • Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/CoreSync-yyyy-mm-dd.log
  • Windows: %APPDATA%/Adobe/CoreSync/CoreSync-yyyy-mm-dd.log

  Note that on Mac OS X to see the user library from the Finder , click the Go menu and hold down the Alt / Option key. Note that on Windows % APPDATA % is a variable that will change the correct path depending on whether the version of Windows being used.

• Add/Remove Program runtime Server error - the name or address cannot be resolved

  try to add/remove programs win XP computer

  get the error:

  that is not the program causing this error - who took ok I guess.

  Hi Silverwand,

  ·         Exactly how are you trying to access to add or remove programs?

  ·         Is the limited any question by going to add or remove the tool program or with other tools as well in Control Panel?

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: You can try to run add or remove program through the key to execution and check

  a. press the Windows key + R

  b. type appwiz.cpl and press on ENTRY.

  Method 2: You can try to re - register the msxml3.dll file and check.

  If the file is in the correct path to the right size, then try and re-save the file.

  a. click on Start

  b. click run

  c. type: regsvr32 msxml3.dll

  d. click enter

  e. restart your computer.

  Method 3: I suggest that scan you SFC [SFC system] on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  a. click Start, click run, type cmd in the Open box and then click OK.

  b. at the command prompt, type sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.

  Note: Could you prompt to insert the Windows XP CD.

  The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  For more information, you can consult the following article:
