Network passwords

Hallo all, I hope one of you people out there can help me. I have a Mac connected to the internet via cable modem, I have just puchased a Laptop running XP. Now heres the tricky part I need two passwords to share my Internet connection One is my network password from my Mac, I have this and its ****** 8 charecters long now my pc wont accept this it wants a 5 or 10 digit WEP password. how do I convert my 8 digit MAC passwod to the 5-10 PC password. Please help My mac is Diying to share with my PC.
Will this resolve the message I get in my PC's "Wireless network Connection" saying limited or no connectivity?
Kind regards
Jake.

This won't work regardless of the password.
If you password protect a software base station (a Mac sharing its internet connection via Airport) then a Windows XP client will not be able to connect.
Two solutions:
1) Don't use a password (not recommended).
2) Get a wireless router to share the connection.

How do I reset the e-printer's web embedded server network password?

I have an HP Photosmart 7520 e-all in one. I use Windows 7. I could tried to set a password in the EWS network tab. I could not change the user name so it remains "admin". I set the passwork and it seemed ok. But when I tried to log on again, it would not let me in. How do I reset the network password?

I recommend that you run "Restore Network Defaults" from the front panel and then run the wireless setup wizard again. This will wipe out all your network settings.

Time Capsule - Can't change network password after 10.6.3 update

Has anyone else experience an issue changing the Time Capsule network password after updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.3? If so did you find a work around? After the update I'm no longer able to change the Time Capsule network password when accessing it from Airport Utility. The utility will say that Time Capsule has updated the network password to the new one but when I check keychain it shows the old password. I tried resolving this by deleting the original keychain then changing it again in Airport Utility but it still shows the old password in the keychain and Airport Utility when I reopen the app.

HI,
Checkthe vendor site for Snow Leopard compatibility. The developer may need to update their software.

Network Password Change

First, please bare with me. First time on here. Second, though I have many Apple products and I manage my way around them, I am not familiar with computer terms and there is a lot I don't understand. However, if something is explained clearly, step by step, I am capable of comprehending pretty fast. If any of you could find the time and LOTS of patience to help me, I would be very happy. FYI I need things explained as if I was 2.
I want to change my Network Password. The reason I want to change it is because when I launch my AirPort Utility and select my Airport Express; unfamiliar devices are present under Wireless Clients, besides my 7 Apples. My internet slowed down, things started freezing in the past few months. (been using Apple since 2009, always keep up with maintenance/upgrades, I only use my Apples for browsing, and mostly uploading pictures, my TimeCapsule does her little backup as she should... this is the first time any of my Apples have slowed down/frozen). Talked to provider, everything is good on their end. I don't download big files, the heaviest thing that I do is stream movies through AppleTV. Always worked. No problems. But in the past few months, all it ever seems to do is "Connecting to iTunes" or "Loading" or "Ready to play in 72 hours and 35 minutes". I read most of the questions/answers already on here, however, my computer (iMac, Mavericks) does NOT behave according to the examples posted. So as much as I would like to follow those suggestions, I am not able to.
...so, I select my AirPort Express, and the box that pops up give me the following info: network, IP address, LAN IP address, serial number, version and wireless clients (no idea what some of these mean and honestly if I don't need to know I don't care). Now, at this point the only option I am given is to click on "Edit".
When I do, I get a different info box. At the very top I have these: Base Station, Internet, Wireless, Network, AirPlay. Each of these contain tons of information which I don't understand. ...I just want to change my Network Password. Do I have the option to do JUST that? Without changing the AirPort Express ...something ...base um, password... I don't kn...
Please help. Thanks.

Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
Edit out / backspace out the current password (which is displayed as dots)
Type in a new password of at least 8 characters that you want to use
Do the same thing to Verify the password
Click Update in the lower right corner of the window and wait a full minute for the AirPort Express to restart
When you log on to your wireless network, you will be asked for the "new" password that you typed in. It might be a good idea to write down that password and place it in a safe place in case you do not remember it in a few months.

Windows 7 computers asking for network password to access shared files and printers on Windows XP PRO computer.

I have a network of 10 computers configured as peer-to-peer work group. I have upgraded one of the ten from Windows XP PRO to Windows 7 PRO. The other nine computers are all running XP PRO. AS near as I can tell they are all configured the same. I have the
same user and same passwords on all computers. One of XP computers is used as a print server. The Windows 7 computer initially was able to access shared files and printers on all XP machines with out requesting a network password.
Suddenly, the Win 7 computer began requesting a network password to access the shared files and printers on the XP print server. It will not accept any of the user names or passwords (all administrators on both machines with identical names and passwords.)
The Win 7 computer has no problem accessing the shared files on the other XP machines. It can even access shared printers in a different work group. Apparently something has changed but I'm at my wits end trying to figure what changed on either the Windows
7 machine or the print server XP machine.
I would appreciate any help. Thank you

Hi,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
1.
Disable simple file sharing on the Windows XP computer:
How to disable simple file sharing and how to set
permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP
2.
On the Windows 7 computer, go to “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings” and ensure that the
following items are turned ON:
Network Discovery
File and printer sharing
And this one is OFF:
Password protected sharing
3.
Temporarily disable or remove all the security software (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) on the computers and check if it works.
In addition,
I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

I'm trying to recover the network password for my Time Capsule so that I can connect another device (a PC) to it. I have my Macbook pro set to connect automatically and the password is hidden. How can I find out what it is.

My issue is that I'm trying to connect a PC to my wireless network run off of a Time capsule/airport router. My macbook pro connects fine but the network password is hidden and set to autoconnect. I thought I wrote the password down but when I try to connect the PC laptop and type in the timecapsule network PW is doesn't work. Trying to verify if the passwird I wrote down is correct but there doesn't seem to be a way to recover this.
Does anyone out there in the community know how to do this? (or do I just have to do a reset on the time capsule

Reset the TC.

I am trying to set up my newly purchased Apple TV but when I enter my network password while setting up, I am not able to enter the Submit button, any idea how to hit the visible submit button that is visible on screen but not responding?

You need to use the right arrow on the remote to go all the way to the right. The submit button will be highlighted and you can then press select on the remote to proceed.

Changing network password...There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request in Windows 8 and 8.1 Enterprise

We currently are running Windows 7 in our enterprise environment. Everything works as expected when the user tries to
change their network password via crtl+alt+del, change a password. We are now testing and trying to deploy Windows 8.1 to a test group and are running into an issue when any AD user tries to change their network password. The user can logon to the
PC just fine when the PC is on the domain, however as soon as they go to change their password they are getting the error "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request". The end result is that the user can not change
their password. We tried this via connected to the dock with a network cable, on corporate wireless, with a Windows 8.1 machine completely patched over with all Microsoft patches, and a Windows 8.1 machine that is not patched and are running into the same
issue. Has anyone ran into this? Is there something that has to be changed on the infrastructure side?

Hi,
Please check the following KB:

Severe Network Password issues

Hi all, this is my first post here.
Of the four computers accessing our router, 3 of them work fine (2 PCs and 1 x Apple PowerBook on OS 10.3.9 over airport).
The machine with the internet connection that no longer works well is my G5. I recently updated the airport software through software update--my thoughts are, does this contain firmware that may have interfered?:
The curious thing is that after performing a clean install with the system discs (10.3.3) and when trying to connect to 'a specific network' as before, the airport sees the network name correctly, but when selected, internet connect now prompts for a WEP password, where it never used to--and it DOESN'T connect--returning an 'Error connecting to MyNetwork' message...
This is the same WEP key as entered in to System Prefs > Network > 'a specific network' > Password--which used to be perfectly adequate.
I am actually now booted from my external clone FW 800 drive, which was a backup from September when everything worked fine--and guess what--my clone network settings work absolutely fine and I can connect to the internet and sit here writing this post, no problem...
So because of this I don't believe that it is a hardware issue.
However, when performing a clean installation of 10.3.3 and choosing to 'transfer user network data' from a previous mac (in this instance my boot clone), everything clones perfectly EXCEPT the network password settings which refuse to connect to the internet and behave again, in the manner described above.
I have run all sorts of disc tests, clean installs that transfer no data from anything previous whatsoever, with various updates applied, and yes, even copied my clone drive using superduper back onto the main system disc as an erase and install clone of my boot clone... to no avail.
A small gllimmer of hope appeared briefly when having cleared the PRAM on startup, after a few more identical attempts at entering the password on a clean install (with NO data transferred from the boot clone on install), the airport DID make a connection. But only briefly, it gave up the connection after a short while and reverted to the error messages as before.
What is frustrating is that surely if it was a Keychain issue, any keychain info would be zeroed from the clean install. The Airport can see the router, but wont connect without the correct password. I've tried addding $ signs in front of the password too, and like I say, it did connect once for about five minutes and then died again...
And the really annoying thing is that it works fine when I boot up in the boot clone!!!
Any ideas, help and suggestions will be really really appreciated.
Many thanks,
Stuart.

The password you are being asked for is the Base Station password. The default is "public." If this was changed, you can perform a "soft" reset on the AX to get it back.

When i back up an iphone on itunes does it save my social network passwords and stuff so when i connect another phone and sync it it'll all be there and i won't have to sign into everything again?

when i back up an iphone on itunes does it save my social network passwords and stuff so when i connect another phone and sync it it'll all be there and i won't have to sign into everything again? because, i don't know most of my passwords im just signed in to everything on my phone but i'm getting a new one.
please help

Hey menaelraghy,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines what is backed up, you may be interested in this section:
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
- Keychain (includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some applications)
If you encrypt the backup, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you're restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you need to enter these passwords again.
Thanks,
Matt M.

System error 86 has occurred. The specified network password is not correct. - despite the NTLMv2 fix

After the Windows 2008 R2 64 bit server got below 2 updates a network share is no longer available. And trying to remap it with correct credentials (that work on a Windows 8.1 64 bit) gives this error: "System error 86 has occurred. The specified network
password is not correct."
Local Policies -> Security Options -> Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level
is already set to "LM and NTLM - use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated"
In fact this is how it was working earlier. And it hasn't been changed.
Below 2 updates were installed in past few days:
Definition Update for Microsoft Endpoint Protection - KB2461484 (Definition 1.185.3528.0)

Keep getting a message to enter network password-won't go away.

I don't know if this is a mozilla problem, a windows problem, or a gmail problem. I just know that for the first time today, and in a span of 20 minutes, it has popped up on my screen 60 times. Annoying. I keep putting passwords in it, but none of them work. Top says Enter Network Password. Server smtp.gmail.com. Then User Name which is jennyjank, password, then save this password in your password list. Then it gives me an option to hit OK or Cancel. I keep canceling and closing, but it just keeps coming back. Help, please. Thanks - Jennifer

Hi jennyjank,
It sounds like there is a persistent network check somewhere. Is this happening only in webmail?
Do you use a firewall or an antivirus that has a filter for gmail smtp servers?
Please also try noscript or ad block plus to detect if there is a script on the page you can stop temporarily until the source is found.
If it a windows operating systems issue try changing this network option mentioned in the answer to the post here: [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/windows-7-asks-enter-network-password-when/2a8e6d6f-74a1-43c7-8530-24e8522ea955]

Where do I find my network password?

I can't seem to find my network password? There is no entry for it in my Keychain, and yet I am connected to the network currently. When I go to System Prefs> Network> AirPort> Advanced> and doubleclick the network, it gives me the option of showing the password, yet when I check the box, the dots just turn into asterisks and don't show any password. Obviously my laptop is remembering the network or I wouldn't automatically be connecting to it, and I am, so where can I find where it's hiding the password? (I'm running Mac OSX 10.5.8 on a Macbook Pro)
Thanks much.

Nevermind, it was hidden in something called Cisco Connect, which I'm pretty sure Rogers installed on my computer.
