Password not accepted for Windows sharing

I am trying to transfer files from my Windows box to my iMac.
When I try to enable Windows sharing for my account it asks me to "enable file sharing using SMB for <Account>, enter the password for the account." but it never accepts my password for that account.  It always says "Incorrect password".  The password originally had special characters in it so I changed it to use only upper- and lower-case and numbers but I still had the same problem.

I know this workaround gets you in there, but why can't we edit the old SMB account in the system preferences as we are supposed to do? you can't delete or edit that account. i looked in keychain, & it wasn't in there. where is it looking for that password??? there must be a store somewhere, that retained this info.

  • Password not accepted for network

    Hi,
    im having a problem connecting to my home network as it will not accept my password . The ipod keeps displaying 'incorrect password for'..., the encryption is WEP based but i have also tried using WPA. There is nothing wrong with the system as my laptop is always connected to the network
    Thanks

    You can try entering the 13 character ASCII key with "quotes" around the key.
    If that does not work you may have to get the HEX key from the router configuration page.
    It may be easiest to contact the router manufacturer or Internet Service Provider that gave you the router and ask them howto configure the router with WPA2 Personal wireless security. These links will show why WPA 2 personal is easier to use.

  • Password not accepted for backup

    I just attempted to upgrade itunes software with my iphone connected, system crashed, iphone then displayed itunes symbol with USB plug image, I restarted PC and sorted out itunes, then restored the iphone but when I clicked to put the backup onto the phone it wouldn't accept my apple/itunes password, what password does it want and how do I get it, because I don't remember setting any other ones up?
    Regards
    Edd

    It depends on what Password it is asking for. If it is specifically asking for a Backup Encryption Password this would have been a password that was set within iTunes when the option for 'Encrypt Backup' was selected. If this has been forgotten, the downside is that Backup cannot be restored without that password.
    If it's a different password though whats the exact wording of the prompt?

  • WEP password not accepted for joining existing wireless network

    My router has WEP security with a 10 digit 64-bit hex value. When I type it into the connection wizard it complains I need 13 digits. I have tried adding a $ and "s but to no avail. What is the trick?

    Hello SteveWhite. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AirPort Express (AX) will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.
    You may find the following Apple article helpful. Also, have you considered switching to WPA or WPA2, since WEP is no longer considered secure?

  • Signed up on furefox desktop 2/2. No problem. Today password not accepted. Asked for help 3 hrs ago and never got email and nit in spam

    Was sucesssful signing up and using firefox on desktop yesterday. Today user name and or password not accepted. Can't get emails-nothing. Asked for help with password and never got email. This was 3 hrs ago and not in spam folder

    Password for what? Signing up for what?
    Firefox doesn't need a password for a person to be able to use it.
    Firefox shouldn't affect your ability to get email - Firefox doesn't do email, but it will allow you to access your web-mail service.

  • Apple id password not accepted on icloud

    why is my apple id password not accepted when I try to login to iCloud? The same password worked when I tried to login to support to post this question!

    If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Activesync not working for Windows Phone with certificate

    We have a new Exchange Server 2013 setup and using activesync.  We have setup a policy to require simple password and to send an email to provision a device when it connects.  Activesync is setup to use self signed certificates,  this was
    tested first on the Ipad.  Certificate installed entered the settings and the device appeared in the quarantined devices list awaiting to be approved.  This was also done on the Iphone and worked. 
    When putting the same certificate on the windows phone device it errored with there is a problem with {as.domain-name.net} and does not appear in quarantined devices screen.
    I tested again with another Ipad and an android device and they work without an issue.  Tested with a Windows RT device and got the same issue.  If I look in the IIS log files I can see the windows device making a connection then when I presume
    to be the error 500 at the end of the line. 
    This is not a user issue as I can use the same user on the various devices.  The windows devices just do not want to connect.  We have looked at the certificate but if it works for apple and android devices why does it not work for windows? 
    Is there any additional security settings that need to be turned on or off for windows phones?  Is there something specific on the certificate what windows devices need that others ignore?

    I did inital think it might be a widows phone issue but there are no other settings for me to use.  I have also tested using a windows 8 surface and I get the same issue.
    I have raised the event log level on the exchange server to expert and I have seen 2 messages when I try to connect. 
    I get Event ID 1100:  Exhcnage ActiveSync device requests for your uses are being blocked.  This problme frequently occurs when HTTP OPTIONS method is not allowed.
    I know it is allowed as the test exchange connectivity worked and passed that test.
    The other error Event ID 1309 ASP.NET warning.  Part of the exception messge is DeviceTypeMissingOrInvalid
    I have come across a comment that says for certificates to work you need to use windows intune or SCCM which we don't have.  Do we know if this is true?

  • I prefer to arrange my photos by title but when I shut down Iphoto, my photos rearrange by date.  This is not acceptable for my growing library of snanned black and white ancestral photos. How do I get photos in events to stay in place ?

    I prefer to arrange my photos by title but when I shut down Iphoto, my photos rearrange by date.  This is not acceptable for my growing library of snanned black and white ancestral photos. How do I get photos in events to stay in place ?

    I actually am illiterate on the use of the finder to to view photos in folders.  I guess I will go to a class at the local Apple store for a lesson on the uses of finder .
    My method of viewing my photos are through events in I photo.
    1. Download  from camera or scan  in from old photos.
    2  I organize photos into events by occasion, or happenings in a certain year, or a group of photos with memorabilia of a certain person from childhood and on. etc.
    3.  Because Iphoto does not allow rearranging as I was able to do in my old PC with Corell,  I drag all of the photos to an " album" on the left side of sceen.  
    4.  I arrange photos in "order" after which I number each photo in sequence. I do this for a few of reasons.
              - if a photo is accidentally deleted I know it.  I can usually remedy this by checking my trash or
    rescanning.
              - I can sort by title without complications and this holds in "album"
    5.  The pictures will re arrange automatially to match the album in I photo.
    6.  This worked great in I-photo 09 but now in mountain lion the pictures in events go back to "
    sort by date" and will not hold "sort to Title"each time I photo is closed down.  What a nuicance it is to have to go  to view and click "title"  again and again every time Iphoto is opened.
    7. Can I go back to Photo 09? . 

  • Gmail Error: Username and Password Not Accepted?

    Okay, once in a while my e-mail actually works on my I phone but about 90% of the time I get this notification; Cannot Get Mail: Username and password not accepted. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Oh yeah, I'm using 1.0.2, gmail, and I'm positive my password and username is right.
    Message was edited by: one11archerave

    I think the problem is solved. Last night I was on my friends computer and I accidentally stored my gmail password. I couldn't figure out how to delete it so I changed my password and then updated my iPhone with the new password. Ever since then I haven't had any problems.
