I am asked to enter my wireless password every time I try to go online

Until recently, my computer remembered my WEP password for my wireless connection, but now every time I want to go on the internet I'm asked to enter the password. This problem started when my daughter started using my computer a few days ago. As far as I know she hasn't changed any of the settings on the computer, all she has done is installed Firefox. This is a real nuisance, what can I do to reset my computer so that it remembers my password? I don't want to have to re-enter it multiples times a day when I want to go online. Thanks!

Type a $ in front of the password. See what happens.

  • B110 printer - do I have to re-enter the wireless password every time I turn it off?

    Hi, I've just bought an HP B110 wireless printer, and set it up wirelessly on my Airport network no problem, but when I turn it off (by the power button on it) and on again it starts up as though it's brand new, loading, then asking for my wireless password (which isn't the quickest thing to type in!) and then telling me to install the software on my computer.  Is there a way I can make it save the login (like any other gadget you can buy does!) because I don't like leaving things running constantly when I'm not going to use it!?

    I also just set up an HP B110a. I have the same problem. I cannot believe it. It seems that every time you switch the printer on you have to enter you wireless network password and then you get instructed to put the printer CD in the computer and reinstall the printer driver. Of course you don't ACTUALLY have to reinstall the drivers every time, but you DO, it seems, have to fiddle around with the simulated keyboard pressing buttons dozens of times to enter even a relatively simple password.  
    Thus it appears in effect you HAVE TO leave your printer permanently switched on, which of course we do not want to do. Please tell me it's not true. Is there a trick we're missing?  

  • Constantly being asked to enter my iCloud password, every 5 minutes or so.

    Hey everyone.
    I have an iPhone 6 and I am getting that error where im constantly being asked to enter my iCloud password every 5 to 10 minutes, regardless of what im doing.
    I've just updated to the latest 8.2 hoping it would fix the issue but it hasn't
    Apart from it being quite annoying, as of yesterday, I can no longer connect to my family group, or backup my phone to iCloud.
    It has gone from a mere nuisance to not being able to use some key features of my phone.
    I've tried restarting, and even changed my iCloud password to no avail.
    Does anyone have any insight on this?
    Thank you in advance.

    No it won't completely wipe your phone. You can verify that your iCloud information is up to date by going to iCloud.com and checking Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, etc. These are updated by being pushed between iCloud and the devices signed onto the same iCloud account. The backup is there in case you have to restore you device for some reason.
    But simply signing out of and then back in again to iCloud will not erase anything - you would only have to do a restore if your device failed in some way or went into Recovery mode.  Just make sure your photos in the Photo Stream that are over 30 days old are also in your Camera Roll, or have been imported to a computer (or if you are using iCloud Photo Beta, make sure they are there).
    You can also do a manual backup to iTunes on the computer you sync with if you wish.
    Other than that, everything you see in iCloud.com will be pushed back to your device when you sign on again.
    Cheers,

  • Email now asks for password every time I try to access it.  Getting very annoying

    All of a sudden I have to enter my email passwords each time I try to access my account.  I check the box that says save in Keychain access and it makes no difference.  Sometimes it asks for my password 3 or 4 times.

    you may want to try repairing your keychain and see if that resolves the issue, the following article tells how to do this:

    Why is my account of the apple ID asks me to change the password every time. Please help me. Thank you

    In Firefox all browser windows and tabs use the same cookies that will identify you to the server.
    If you open a different account then existing cookies are send to the server and the server sees that you already signed on (authenticated).
    You can look at one of these if you want to sign on with different identities at the same time:

  • Modem HUAWEI MODEL E226 -  Require password every time i try to connect

    I have a modem huawei e226.
    i use MobileConnect to connect internet.
    Every time the connection failed i have do type again my password.
    I dont want to do that... any one know how to configure this aplicaton to not ask for password any more?

    I also use the same type of Modem ~ the only time I had to put my admin password in was when first starting the ISPs software after installing it. Never had to enter it again. (Vodafone NZ)
    There is no password in my Keychain for the modem.
    I use Internet connect unless I have to reset the type of network used because of conflict. I then use the Vodafone software, then internet connect.
    I'd check your ISPs software options or give them a call.
    Best.

  • Will I have to enter my Facebook password every time I use their app, and how do I with Firefox?

    Password issues using FB.

    When you open Firefox navigate to facebook.com and enter your username and password. Firefox should then place a drop down from the address bar asking if you want to remember the password. Accept the saving of the password.

  • Is there a way to bypass entering your account password every time you want to download something from the store.?

    The app store interface is maddening. if i enter my password wrong once i have to reset it?! much fail.
    all im trying to do is download a free program, why do i have to enter payment information? i dont mind. but why cant i just skip it. so when i actually want to make a monetary purchase i can enter my information then?!

    Security. Anything less would be easy for folks to hack your account.

  • Asks for password every time I try to move a file into document folder.

    Say need authorization to move file into document folder. I have some scans on seek top and I want ot place in a diabetes folder, states needs password.
    I have 12 items I want to place in the folder, seems a bit too much of a security issue.
    The file are transferred data, it states file can not be modified, authenticate or cancel, I hit authenticate and then asked for a password. Since it may be files from a different pc or format, there must be a shortcut to make this simpler.

    Where's this folder located? Somewhere in your home folder? When you created this folder, were you logged in to the same user account as the one you are in now?

  • Why am I being asked to enter my apple ID every time I unlock my iPAD?

    For some reason in just the last few days, each time I unlock my iPAD it is asking me to enter my Apple ID. I didn't change anytiing in my settings. I did go to settings to find something that may be causing this and cannot locate anything. This is not a major issue, other than it is simply annoying. Not sure if anyone else has run into this and has any suggesitons on how to correct it. FYI, I am using an iPAD2 on the latest SW. Thanks!

    Correct, the passcode lock is not activated. So I can hit cancel when it asks me for it and continue. It isn't stopping me from doing anything but like I said, it is just one of those annoyances I would like to make go away.
    I am wondering if it has something to do with a game I downloaded from the Apple Sotre called Virtual Pool. Because somethimes when I go to add a new app, I get some error messga saying the store cannot download Virtual Pool right now when I never asked it to and I already have the game loaded and working properly on my iPAD. Would that be a possible cause perhaps? The iPAD thinks I still need ot download the game when I don;t so it keeps asking me for my Apple ID?

  • Trash asks for a password every time I try to delete a file, how can I change this?

    This is a recent change in my machine and I can not figure out how to change it back.
    Any thoughts?

    That often happens because of a permission problem with the Trash. See > http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html#Anchor-Files-46919
