Invalid user name and password when adding a shared printer from vista

I have the following hardware in our house:
1. A Vista Ultimate
2. A Power Book G4
3. A Netgear RangeMax router
4. A Canon IP2200
The printer is attached to the vista PC by USB.
That PC is attached by ehternet to the router.
The mac is networked to the router by wireless.
Our wireless network is secured by WPA-PSK.
I have set up file and printer sharing on my vista PC and on the mac.
File sharing is working perfectly and can connect to my PC using the windows file sharing protocol (SMB).
I then decided to add my printer as a shared device. I set the printer to shared using my vista PC.
On the mac I opened:
System Preferences > print & faxes > Set Up Printers > add.
I selcted Windows Printing and then Workgroup (my vista PC is on this workgroup)
and then clicked my PC and then Choose.
I then get asked for my Windows Username and Passowrd.
After typing this in I get the follwoing message.
"Unable to connect to server with the provided password and user name.
Error: 256"
I know that my username and password are correct as I add the same printer to my friends XP laptop.
Is this a vista or mac issue or both. I really don't want to have to unplug my printer or copy the file to my PC everytime I want to print something.
I have not tried to add the printer to the mac from a XP compluter and maybe something I need to try.
Sorry for the long post but I really want to sort out this problem.
P.S I have googled for this problem and have come across a mac help forum with the exact smae problem. However no one has a solution.
I hope I can find a solution for me and others having this problem.
Power Book G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

"Invalid user name and password" when synchronizin...

I am getting an "Invalid user name or password" error on E71 after changing password on both Ovi.com web site and in sync profile on E71. Yes, I did make sure to enter the correct password into my ovi.com sync profile on the E71.

I agree. I'm in the same region of the U.S. as you (McLean VA), and I bought the E71 unlocked so I could use my T-Mobile SIM and number with it. Another plus is it works just about anywhere in the world.
As regards software, a lot of it just doesn't work (a la Ovi sync). There are some very nice third party apps, such as Joikuspot (WLAN anywhere) and Goosync (when it works, it's a good Google services sync tool). I am addicted to Comedy 104 on its internet radio application, and Mobbler is a pretty good way to get a last.fm-like experience on the phone.
Shame on Nokia for releasing a not-ready for prime time service, then not supporting it. Very Microsoft-like!

Invalid User Name and Password when logging onto BPM Workspace (v9.3.1)

I have installed Hyperion Planning and the related/required products. When I attemp to log on to Workspace, I get the following message;
'You must supply a valid User Name and Password to log onto the system."
I have tried using the native 'admin' account, and an NTLM account that I have setup. Both of these accounts work for logging onto the the User Management Console and to the Essbase Administration Console, and I have provisioned both of them with full admin privileges.
Has anyone encountered this issue?
Thanks,
-K

Thank you all for the responses so far.
On the first response, I had already provisioned an NTLM user that is a member of the local Administrators group with all administrative roles, and also refreshed security in EAS prior to submitting this inquiry, so that did not solve the problem.
On the second, I cannot navigate to ../workspace/browse/configinfo without logging in so I am unable to review this information.
On the third response, where do you provision the user to BI+? If I open the User Management Console, there are four root roles each with a tree underneath: APS 9.3.1 Server, Analytic Servers, Business Rules, and Hyperion Shared Services. Under each tree, I have provisioned the 'admin' user and the NTLM user for all roles, including Administrator, Dimension Editor and Application Creator under Hyperion Shared Services -> Global Roles. Should there be a BI+ tree? If so, it is not appearing on the list.
Thanks for any additional info anyone can provide.

Itunes keeps asking me for a user name and password when I first open it.

I do not allow apple to access my library or my hard drive because you guys are predators, and I have NO interest in using the app store. I have disabled access to the store, so i do not know why it keeps asking me for a user name and password. You have NO right to see the music THAT I PURCHASED a loooooooooong time ago. It is my license. I should be able to play it whenever and wherever I like...and NO, I do not burn and copy my music. I just want to play it on MY MACHINES. So, I do not need your useless snooping, which is probably the reason you want me to log in. Who do you think you are? You didn't write the songs. You just sell licenses. Period. And I purchased mine, thank you. I no longer use your store for these reasons. I use Amazon.

Not control-R. Command-R. Shut the computer down. Reboot it. Hold down cmd-R when you hear the chime. Keep it held down and you should see the Lion recovery partition.

Active Directory "Invalid User name and password" but have joined before

I have had a small handful of machine repeat the same thing. A workstation may still login but with an old PW, it will no longer authenticate to the domain. In times past I have been able to track the edu.kerberos.mit file and the directoryServices perference files. And then rebind the computer to the domain. These computers will begin to rejoin to the domain, but stop at step 3 which is verifying credentials and report and error saying my user name and password is incorrect, but they are correct. Keep in mind it goes through steps 1-3 very quickly. In the logs for Directory Services it tell me _Kerberos does not have a record for the server and it displays our domain controller. Then another right under saying Kpasswd does not have any record of the server. To me this indicates a Kerberos problem and KDC, which I understand runs locally on the machine now with Leopard. Keep in mind a new machine (machine I just imaged) will bind perfect.
Some machines even show still connected to the domain, one I could search via DSCL, but when I went to unbind it gave me a password error.
It seems like a password issue. Any suggestions?

Problems with invalid user name and password

We have a one week old MacBook 2.2GHz basic white model that is generally working well.
However a problem has now arisen whereby on any attempt to shutdown or restart it won't accept the administrator user name and password, returning an 'invalid' warning. The issue seems to be the user name as the administrator password has worked OK in other situations. Naturally I have checked and re-checked the user name (which was in the form (first name followed by surname in upper and lower case) and it was OK (in any case it was being prompted automatically by the system.)
I have subsequently changed the administrator name (to the form first name only in upper and lower) and the password as suggested by the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306876
Nothing has changed. Can anyone help?

HI Martin, a late post to confirm the solution from the last post by using the "RETURN" key works..
(mouse click worked ok in Tiger 10.4.x I thought).
Tis was a delight and so obvious after seeing these symptoms.
I have posted this entry in case anyone else get's into this situation since OSX LEopard 10.5. Several people have encountered this issue where they may have:
• LEopard 10.5.x installed
• have 2 or more active users LOGGED into the OSX system via fast user / fastuser switching
• request a SHUTDOWN or RESTART from an user
• get a OSX request to supply administrator attributed user and it's associated password to validate SHUTDOWN | RESTART request,
• have admin | root account verification failure of password after 'clicking'.
After some months of frustration, it seems a simple PRESS of the "RETURN key" works!
Simply, DON'T mouse click after entering admin user/password.... instead press "RETURN" key.
fwiw.

I am trying to get into my iCloud account and it is saying invalid user name and password

I am trying to get into my iCloud account and it is saying "Invalid User Name or Password". I thought that you use your Apple I.D. and password, but that does not work! So, how do you reset your user name and/or password if you don't know what ones ICloud is seeking....

After resetting your password you might then need to log out of your account on your device by phone on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if it's on iOS 6) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Prompted for lpadmin group name and password when adding printer

I was running into a prompt to enter an lpadmin group name and password whenever I tried to do any printing, so I decided to go ahead and reset my printer list. Now I'm trying to add my local printer to the list and I'm still getting the same prompt.
I found this solution: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2754
on the Apple website, but it's not working for me.
Perhaps it's because I'm unfamiliar with working in Terminal, but I'm entering the text exactly as it's written on the support page
dseditgroup -o edit -p -a(affected_username) -t user _lpadmin
with, of course, my username substituted for the "(affected_username)" but I'm getting an error message in Terminal that says:
syntax error near unexpected token `('
Any suggestions or help? It would be much appreciated!

Looking at the command again step 3 says to replace "(affected_username)". Since the parenthesis are included in the quotes try leaving them out as well.

Prompt for user name and password when opening an application like Internet Explorer

Hi
I often use Internet Explorer using "Run as different user". This is achieved by holding 'Shift' and right clicking the IE icon. This is the main reason why I use IE as my default browser is Chrome. Signing in as a different user
is helpful when troubleshooting/customising certain applications such as Dynamics CRM.
Is there away to force IE to always ask for credentials when I open it?
Marc Collins www.QGate.co.uk

Hi GTS-NJ
This was my first thought. The problem I found is it requires a particular user. I need to be flexible with the users I sign in with.
I may have the answer though. I have changed the security settings for trusted sites to always prompt for username and password. I have added my sites to trusted sites. Now when I browse to the site, it prompts me to sign in.

Imovie will not let me load a movie to You Tube error message say wrong user name and password when it is right

imovie will not let me load a movie to You Tube. The error message from imovie says it is the wrong password and user name. I rechecked it and it is right.

It can be tricky sometimes. Go to your youtube account in Safari and try logging in. They might have changed the security requirements. In addition, you might find this software easier to use for uploading video to youtube.

How can i get firefox to remember my user name and password when useing email?

Everytime i want to log into my email,i have to type in my details.I used Firefox before on a previous pc and i was asked if i would like Firefox to remember these.That is not happening this time.Please can you help?Thanks

* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

How to keep from losing connection to firefox and reentering user name and password when I close a message in my e-mail that I have read

I use firefox for e-mail and am unsure how to close a message without losing the connection to firefox. Then I need to go through the tedious task of entering my username and password everytime I am finished reading the message and close it. How can I close the message without losing connection to firefox? Also, when I select "save my password" at the sign in page it never saves the information. Why not?

You're welcome.
