OS X not remembering network username and password

I have had this problem since starting at my current office. (Over 16 months.)  I inherited a computer from a previous staff person.  Each of my computers have been Macs. (3 different computers in 16 months.)  We are mostly a Mac computer office but our Active Directory and File Server are both Window PC's. BOOO!
Whenever I try to log in to the file server I get the request for the my network user name and password.  The window already has a user name but it's not mine.  It is the user name of a previous user of my original computer (From 16 months ago.).  I say original computer because I now have my thrid computer which I migrated from the first and second one.  I'm sure whatever the problem it is has come along with each migration.
I have looked in my Keychain Access and found the network password item for the file server.  When I opened it my username and password are correct. 
So... where do I go from here?  Thanks for your help.

Try deleting it from KeyChain. Also look for any other passwords for other users in the past for this and delete them.
When you log back into the server, password fields should be blank. Put your's in and save it.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows) does not remember ftp username and password

    I have seen this problem mentioned in other threads concerning Mac instalations of Dreamweaver, but this is a Windows installation. I recently installed DW CS5, and it refuses to remember the ftp username and password after I quit the program and restart it later. This was never a problem with CS3. It is extremely annoying. Any suggestions?

    OK, got it fixed. Even though it said it was pointed to the correct directory in "local site folder" I picked it again and then it said something like "rebuilding cache". and it worked.
    Thanks!

  • Could not complete backup; network username and password wrong....help!

    I've been using the Time Capsule just fine for my automated Time Machine backups, until recently when they stopped working. I finally checked into it today, and it tries for about 10 seconds, then says "Time Machine could not complete backup. The network backup disk could not be accessed because there was a problem with the network username and password." I hadn't changed any of the settings, so I don't know why it would do this. So I totally erased the Time Capsule, set it to factory settings, gave it all new passwords and what not, created a whole new wireless network, etc... and still it's doing the same thing. Take a look at the screenshot to see what I mean.
    Any help here would be appreciated.
    Thank You.

    Ok
    Go to Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access. Look for an item named the same as your Time Capsule, and it will say 'Base Station Password" (or something like that), and delete it (just select it, and press delete on your keyboard)
    Now when you try to connect to your Time Capsule for a backup, it will prompt for the password. Enter the password that you set just before.
    Let me know if you have any more trouble.

  • I DOWNLOADED THE UPDATES NIT SAID TO DOWNLOAD NOW i CANNOT GET TO THE STORE AND ALSO IT WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MY USERNAME AND PASSWORD TO SIGN IN SO I AM STUCK.  IT WILL ALLOW MR TO LISTEN TO MY LIBRARY HOWEVER BUT THIS IS ALL.

    I DOWNLOADED THE UPDATES IT SAID TO DOWNLOAD NOW i CANNOT GET TO THE STORE AND ALSO IT WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MY USERNAME AND PASSWORD TO SIGN IN SO I AM STUCK.  IT WILL ALLOW ME TO LISTEN TO MY LIBRARY HOWEVER BUT THIS IS ALL.  ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.  EVERYTHING WORKED FINE UNTIL THE DOWNLOAD.  I DID DELETE ICLOUD BUT I CAN REMEMBER THE OTHER PROGRAM.  DOES APPLE HAVE A NUMBER TO CALL

    Perhaps the reason that your username and password are not recognised is because you have caps lock on.

  • ITunes 10.6.0.40 doesn't remember my username and password

    So I listen to a paid podcast that requires me to log in through iTunes before allowing updates, which WAS all fine and good till I downloaded the current version of iTunes (10.6.0.40).  Now, instead of a "Windows Security" window popping up to request my username and password for this podcast's site, the window appears to be from iTunes itself.  Problem is, it won't remember my username and password like the old Windows Security window used to do.  Before when the request came up, the username and password boxes would fill in automatically, since I'd checked the "Remember password" checkbox.  I could then just click the OK button and iTunes would proceed to update the podcast.  Now, even when I've clicked the "Remember password" checkbox, the username and password boxes in the window are blank every time.  I find this behavior VERY frustrating.
    I'm running the latest version of iTunes on my Windows 7 32-bit machine, which is also up to date on patches and fixes.  Am I missing something obvious or is this just broken now?

    Amen to that...another "fix" that tagged along with the last upgrade.

  • JMS Adapter (for DI) does not allow passing username and password to JMS connection

    Post Author: PLed76
    CA Forum: Data Integration
    JMS Adapter (for DI) does not allow passing username and password to JMS connection. It has those fields only for MSMQ. Our Production environment does not allow us to connect to JMS (we use Tibco EMS) anonymously, so it prevents us from use of Data Integrator. Is there any way to pass those params, or obtain the correct version of JMS Adapter, or obtain source codes of the JMS Adapter so we can correct them ourselves (we can send you the corrected sources back) ? Thanks in advance for any help. (PL)ed76 Renaissance Capital

    Bump - Were having the same issue.
    Has anyone found a way to connect to Tibco with a user/pwd?

  • How do I get Firefox to remember two usernames and passwords for att.yahoo?

    Firefox remembers one username and password, does not auto-fill-in the information (which is good), but will not ask to remember the second username and password. How do I get Firefox to remember the second username and password?
    I have two e-mail accounts which use the same login page, one account is sbcglobal and the other is yahoo. I would like Firefox to remember both sets of information so I don't have to type all the username and password information for one account.

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • On my 1st visit to a certain website, Firefox _very briefly_ asked whether to remember my username and password. I was too slow: the dialog bar disappeared and now, I cannot find where to enter that logon info for my daily returns to that site.

    On only the very first visit to a website, Firefox _very briefly_ shows a "Do you want Firefox to remember this password?" dialog bar at top right of screen.
    The first time that I used Firefox to access this particular, and very often visited site, I missed that dialog bar. It disappeared before I had a chance to mark any one of the three boxes and now, I must enter my log-in information anew at every log-on to that site.
    There _must_ be a way to get Firefox to give me a second chance for entering this info, but I cannot find how.
    Can someone please help?

    After first closing the site's browser window, I cleared the cookies with no problem.
    Next, I opened up the page that is causing my problem. The Microsoft Security window opened up as it should and it was blank.
    The option of whether I was using a public or a private
    computer was blinking on 'public' as it should and I changed that to 'private'.
    The lines for 'Domain/Username' and 'Password" were blank, as they should be at this time.
    I entered whatever I had to on these two lines, then clicked on "log In". At no time, however, did the Firefox toolbar at top of screen (picture file attached) appear and ask whether to remember that password. Yes, the page now opened - and we are back to Square One.
    I am aware that when entering the URL in the address box, a dropdown box opens and contains quite a few URLs identical to the one I am entering just now, or at least connected to pages of the same site.
    I am wondering whether that is what's messing me up? But how can I clear these entries of "websites visited in the past from Firefox's memory?

  • Sharing via email says the server did not recognize the username and password  combination

    I am trying to share photos in iPhoto via email (gmail) and it says the server does not recognize the username password combination. I have deleted the email account rebooted iMac and re-entered the gmail account info and I get the same message. I have confirmed the username and password are correct.

    LarryHN I guess I should have clarified that. I did try it that way and I am able to email pictures with mail set as the email client. When I change it to iPhoto as the email client is when I get this message. I have the same setup on my Macbook and it works great for emailing pictures from iPhoto. Although I can send them through email client, I prefer doing it through iPhoto.

  • I have lost control. This version does not remember id's and passwords for any sight, makes me re login for every site every time I return to a site even during the same session. With the previous version I did NOT have this problem.

    I loved the previous version and this version for me is a downgrade. I am not able to correctly set the option, and I cannot even get the feedback function to operate correctly.

    There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.
    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.
    If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Cookies
    Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

  • Safari will not clear my username and passwords it has saved

    I am trying to get Safari to clear saved usernames and passwords from the saved list and it refuses to do so. I've done everything from go into settings and click edit on the usernames and passwords and click remove and even remove all and nothing happens. I've also clicked on file and reset safari and my usernames and passwords still aren't deleted. Whatever happens, I do not want to lose my bookmarks though; those are very important to me.
    Thanks,
    Travis

    HI Travis,
    In Safari Preferences - Autofill
    Make sure: user names and passwords is deselected.
    Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete all the keychains for the sites you don't want user names and passwords saved for.
    Relaunch Safari.

  • I can't get facebook to stop remembering my username and password.

    I've already cleared all of my history (pressed ctrl + shift + del and cleared everything, including active log-ins, site preferences, and cookies), I went on the security tab under options and tried deleting all saved passwords, and I've tried restarting the browser, but when I go to the facebook url, it still automatically lists my username and password. I've tried finding another solution, but all people keep saying is to clear history (which I've already done) and change saved passwords under the security tab (which I've already done).
    Are there any other options?

    Please '''mark solve YOUR reply''' to help other with same issue, tell us the add-on also.
