• 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.

• 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:

  Manufacturer: Acer
  Model: Aspire M1201

• 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.

• 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?

Now my laptop Vista wonder a logon user name and password that he never did before. I disabled all the security measures and not still it won't let me.  Any help would be appreciated.

  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.

  Mr President.

  I got the admin password in my window 7 Professional which I totally forgot, I'm not able to use my computer, is it possible to recover the admin password?

  There is no way to retrieve a forgotten password. However, you can do this:

  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Configure Windows to a point until you have changed the password.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.
