Home Hub Username and password

Hi,
I was trying to access the basic configuration of my home hub in the Hub Manager and I was asked to enter my username and password. I have no idea what my user name is and have tried using the SN on the back of my hub but alas it does not work. Can you help please.

Hello headers2,
Don't worry - the factory reset really won't make things worse. The Homehub is configured to connect to broadband out of the box. So long as you've never fiddled with Wifi settings, then you could factory reset it. You would have to re-register your Hub phones afterwards.
Here is how to do it:

Hope this helps,

Server 2003 VPN clients can't verify username and password

Hi,
Hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction. I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 standard SP2 running RRAS. It has Dual NIC's and is configured for PPTP VPN. I am using a BT Business Hub 5 for internet access and using the BT Static IP service.
The BT Hub assigns the static IP address chosen to the Server using DHCP. The firewall is configured to port forward PPTP traffic to the 2003 server. This all works correctly.
The 2003 server is on a domain where the DC is a 2008 R2 server. The DC also acts as the DNS and DHCP for the network.
The default gateway for the domain is pointed towards our WinGate proxy server which also acts as a DNS server.
The 2003 server LAN NIC is configured manually, usually I would not configure a deafult gateway on the LAN NIC as the WAN NIC needs the default gateway for the BT Hub.
The problem I am having is if a default gateway is configured on the LAN NIC, I can connect to the VPN and it will logon to the network. Once connected everything works ok. If the connection drops, when trying to reconnect the client can no longer verify
the user name and password against the domain and the connection is refused.
If I do not have a default gateway configured in the LAN NIC the VPN clients can not verify the username and password for the domain at all and I get RPC failure errors in the event viewer with the source dnsapi.
Once this error occurs the only way I can get the clients to reconnect is to disable the WAN NIC, restart the RRAS service and enable the WAN NIC again.
Any insight will be much appreciated.

Broadband username and password

I have been with BT Broadband for as long as I can remember but I need to know my broadband password.
I am on BT Total Broadband Option 3, a Home Hub 2 and documentation saying my broadband username is my btinternet email. However, when I look at the router through 192.168.1.254, the user name is [email protected]
I need to know the broadband name and broadband password so I can expeiment on another router's settings for a friend.
How can I get them or who would tell me?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Am attempting to set up a BT Business Hub 3 on BT Unlimited Broadband. So, yes, the lack of need for password on the Home Hub 4 threw me too because if you're not a BT Business Broadband client the business hub asks for username and password. Glad I found the answer here.

How do I disable administrator username and password entry to access ix4-300d

With the recent version 4.1.102.29716 update, I am now FORCED to enter a username and password to get into my "home based" ix4-300d NAS. This has already been a MAJOR pain for my nedia server setup, in that I am no longer able to create a network drive to one of several NAS folders on to my home network.
My question therefore is, how do I DISABLE the function of having to enter an administrator username and password to gain entry into my ix4-300d?
Thanks,
Bill

No hazzle, just do it.
This is only for admin purposes. You are still able to place your media into individual user shares or put it in the public area where they will be accessible for everyone, even if you set 'security' on.

Micrsoft Outlook somtimes prompting for username and password

hello All ,
I Have Exchange 2010 sp3 installed two mailbox servers & two HUB & CAS Servers and Outlook sometimes prompting for username and password .
how can fix it .
Thank you

Hi,
Please check the following points:
1. Does the issue happen to your external users or internal users?
2. For all users or some specific users?
If the issue happens to internal users, please configure the authentication in Outlook Security tab with Negotiate Authentication to have a try.
Thanks,

Network printers prompting for username and password

With the more recent OS upgrades I can now see my printers on my home network. Very cool. When I select one to print, I am prompted for a username and password. I have tried my network keys with no luck and cannot set a password on my printers. Is this unusual and if not, what should I be using?

You can try to take a fiddler trace in both scenarios and then search for the differences. This issue seems to be related with your network configuration that with the product itself.
In fiddler you can identify what verb is requesting for credentials and from there you can go further with troubleshooting.

Browser prompting for username and password to access enterprise manager.

I've just installed Internet Directory 10.1.4.0.1 and am having trouble connecting to Application Server Console in Enterprise Manager.
When I try to go to the url http://localhost:18101, a dialog pops up asking for a username and password. In firefox it says 'Enter username and password for "enterprise-manager" at http://localhost:18101'. IE6 just says, 'enterprise-manager'. I have tried various sets of credentials for this - my network userid and password; and ias_admin, orcladmin, sys and sysman, all with the passwords I specified at install time. None of these work. If I cancel the dialog box I get a '401 Unauthorised' page. I'm sure this is coming from apache and is basic web page authentication, and not an enterprise manager login.
Has any one seen this before?
I can connect through directory manager, and I can connect to the database console for the metadata repository.
emctl status iasconsole shows that it is running.

Contact your college network support. The syntax for specifying your authentication may be different than you usually use when you are just connecting there locally.

Annoyed by OTN username and password prompting

Sorry it's really starting to annoy me that I always have to enter my OTN username and password between every browser session. Why can it not use a cockie or whatever to keep me logged in at least for the day. Or better, let me save the password in my keychain so that I only have to press the "Sign In" button when the login appears.
Firefox has a built in "save password" option, which will supply username and password when accessing a particular web page. It works with sites like ebay and many other common sites, but for some reason it does not work with OTN. When accessing OTN it never prompts me if I want Firefox to remember the password. I'm not using private browsing and have no site in the save password exception list.
I found an add-on named "Saved Password Editor". It allows to manually add username and password entries associated with a web site. But since almost any software calls home today I rather not use any 3rd party tool to deal with security sensitive information. I checked the tool and it did not call home, but who knows what happens later.
Any other ideas?
FWIW: firefox - How does browser know when to prompt user to save password? - Stack Overflow
Maybe the problem is simply because the login uses "ossusername" instead of "username" in the login form.

So what is the message? I have no particular objection to any solution that fixes the issue, beside installing 3rd party browser extensions.
How about the following? Checking https://login.oracle.com/mysso/signon.jsp on http://web-sniffer.net shows:
Set-Cookie: ORA_UCM_VER=; domain=.oracle.com; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 01:00:00 GMT; path=/
Unfortunately I cannot set my system date prior to 1970 to see what happens, but would the cookie allow me to login without the need to specify my username and password again until the cookie expires? Would that be a feasible option instead of enabling form autocomplete?
Speaking of which, the OTN forum defines "Cache-Control: private, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate". This setting disables browser caching. I found the browser's back button very useful in the past to be able to get back the content of the forum editor, for instance, when some error occurred submitting the response or when I accidentally opened another web page. This used to work in the previous forum.
The editor's new recovery function so far has been rather confusing or completely useless for me. It does not help after being logged out without notice. It actually just happened and I received an "unexpected error" while posting this response, loosing all text. (Un)fortunately I'm used to either copy and paste the content before submitting or use my own text editor. But cutting and pasting has become a different story now after the forum upgrade with the buggy editor.
Meanwhile I understand that OTN cannot fix the problems with the forum software, but perhaps the login could be improved.

Supplying username and password to repository via code

I have entered my username and password and the message comes up is "User name or password is incorrect" when I have tried to press ok and continue, it won't let me, it has frozen, the rest of the phone is working fine, it's just in the iclound screen

I have entered my username and password and the message comes up as User name or password is incorrect, this has frozened this page - so I am unable to use my settings, the rest of the phone is working fine

Try "resetting" the iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Firefox does not automatically load nor find the login page for a public network (i.e. username and password)

To log in on a public network without a password-key (not secured), a user login is required.
After connecting to the network, the browser, upon opening it, normally automatically loads the login page, in order to enter a username and password and connect to the internet.
Firefox doesn't find the login page automatically, so I need to switch to google Chrome just to log in to the network.
Does this have anything to do with user settings in the options of firefox?
Any ideas?
thx!

Hi,
You can try setting the login page as the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page Home page] and choose to '''Show my home page''' beside '''When Firefox starts:'''.
Alternatively, and/or to preserve your current settings you could also pin it as an always present one-click away [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-are-app-tabs App tab].

HT5439 i can't access my university anyway, how can i add username and password?

i try to use this solution to apply my university proxy, but it dodn't work. Can u suggest me more about how can i add username and password?

You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".

Home Hub rejecting wifi password 10-30 times until...

We're having a strange problem with our wifi. We have a home hub 5 and various devices connect to it. We've had various connectivity issues with the home hub connecting to the internet, but we've learned to live with that. However, we also have another problem.
Our laptops (both Mac, different types though) seem to need us to keep retrying the password between 10 and 30 times on average before it will accept it. When the laptop is started up, it doesn't automatically log into the home hub (although it used to, and no settings have been changed) - it needs the password to be entered, and after typing it in and hitting enter, it rejects it as incorrect password. We just keep hitting enter to retry, and some time later, it seems to randomly accept it for once. The highest number of times I have had to retry it is 54, but usually it's between 10 and 30.
No other devices seem to have this problem.
Can anyone account for this or suggest a remedy? It's extremely frustrating.
Thank you.

I am having a similar problem, though I have not tried entering the password so many times. Therefore at the moment I am only able to connect either by:
Cable
Using the unsecure hot spot.
This is affecting all my devices (iPad, Iphone, Windows laptiop, wireless printer).
It was all working fine earlier this morning and then, suddenly, just stopped working.
I have logged in to the bthomehub and checked the wireless password - it is still set at the original setting so it should be working.

Using a guest wi-fi network with changing username and password

I am trying to access a "guest user" wi-fi network at my office. For security purposes, the guest network username and password are changed periodically. The connection worked fine until the username and password changed. Is there any way to access the setup of a specific wi-fi network on the iPhone and update the user name and password? I would like to be able to do it without resetting ALL the networks used?
I tried to use "Forget Network" and then restored the connection, but it appears the iPhone retains the old username and password in memory.
Thanks!

Well, I tried to duplicate what you talked about. I have my wireless here at home, and I chose, "Forget this network" and when I went to rejoin, it asked for a password. Many public networks take their username and password through the browser. Have you tried to open Safari to see if it will default to the username/password screen? I've used mine at hotels that change their access every 24 hours and if I try to log back on after the time, it defaults back to the login screen. That is the only solution that I can think of. And yes, if you go to settings and reset network settings, it will clear all of them.

4402 guest users authetication via Web (username and password)

Hello Everyone,
We have an issue with Wireless controller model 4402 loaded with 4.0.179.11. This box has stopped authenticating (Layer3 security Web Policy based local usernames and password) last night.
Steps taken to resolve the issue:-
1) Created local usernames and password via Web and tried using wireless through Guest ssid, when user enters this information web page loops back to authentication.
2) Tried authenticating via another Laptop, had no luck.
3) Changed WLAN SSID Guest from Layer3 security Web Policy to Layer2 Security, created Mac filter table for guest on the Controller. Guest was able to connect to the internet.
We have not made any configuration change. As this issue affected all Users, we restarting the controller after which issue was resolved. As per my colleagues this has happened couple of times and every time restart fixes this issue.
Please shed some light on this.
Regards,
Mujahid
