Sites keep asking for username and password and say "restricted". I've tried numerous fixes and am not using a proxy.
Hi,
I wonder if someone could help me please.
I have an issue that extends across my browsers – Firefox and Internet Explorer (Firefox is default) and both are the latest version possible. My machine is fully patched (Win7 Pro x64 SP2).
The issue is as shown below:
'The site xxxx is requesting a user name and password. The site says: "restricted"’
The happens for some (not all) sites and I have to click “cancel” twice to remove the dialogue box, and then the site appears and works normally for a little while. The box will come up again if I attempt to click any links within the same site. It’s incredibly annoying and has been frustrating me for the past month. Here’s what I have tried so far, but hasn’t resolved the issue:<br />
<br />
• Clearing Firefox cache/history manually (set to never remember anything)<br />
• Tried checking/unchecking private browsing<br />
• Made sure “accept 3rd party cookies” is enabled<br />
• Tried all checkboxes for “no proxy”, “use system proxy” and “auto detect system proxy” etc<br />
• Disabled all add-ons/extensions within Firefox and retried<br />
• Performed the option to “Reset Firefox” to its default state from within “Troubleshooting”<br />
• Completely uninstalled and re-installed Firefox (latest version)<br />
• Went to the URL "about:config" and searched for the key "network.websocket.enabled" and switched it to "false".<br />
• Went to the URL "about:config" and searched for the key "network.proxy.share_proxy_settings" and switched it to "false".<br />
• Went to the URL "about:config" and searched for the key "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies" and switched it to "false".<br />
• Run a full AV scan in safe mode (with latest definition files) using Avira Antivirus, Spybot Search & Destroy, MalwareBytes, Super Antispyware and performed full optimisations via Registry Mechanic, Tune-up Utilities 2013 and CC Cleaner (with CC Extender installed). No threats found.<br />
None of the above has helped. The problem is only recent so I’m not entirely sure what’s changed.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I seem to have exhausted my ability to diagnose the fault via the god of Google

It is always best to avoid using such external cleaners as you can never be sure if they aren't corrupting files and it is usually not worth the trouble to repair damage if that is the case. A lot of the SQLite database files use a complicated table setup that can easily get corrupted.

Outlook 2007 keeps asking for username and password
We have a new exchange 2007 SP1 server but occasionally the outlook clients will ask for the username and password.
Is this a bug or does anyone have a fix?Hi Edwin,
I have an SBS 2008 install with a similar problem. Using a GoDaddy Cert. Worked fine prior to me running an update to the server. So I think we are getting some where here.
Symptoms
Win Server 2008 (Or SBS 2008)
Exchange 2007
Outlook Anywhere Enabled (RPC-HTTP)
SSL Cert Signed by GoDaddy
Outlook 2007 Clients
Outlook 2007 Clients show Login prompt to the 'remote.example.com' cancel or disable keeps poping it up after some time.
RPC-DIAG shows no problems
Client not configured for RPC-HTTPs
Outlook 2003 Clients unaffected
Things I have tried:
Basic & Windows Authentication on the EWS Virtual Directory in IIS7 on Exchange 07 (SBS 08) box - No Joy
New Profile on Outlook 2007 win XP SP3 - No Joy
New Profile on Outlook 2003 win XP SP3 - Works, but rest of office running Outlook 2007
Disabling Outlook Anywhere - No Joy
Visiting https://remote.example.com on affected Outlook 2007 win XP SP3 Machine - No Error Pages, or dialog boxes, Internet Explorer sees it as a valid Cert
Any KB Articles, or notices?? I have two end-user with a possible third (Business owner) who are getting cranky. :(
EDIT: Found a fix for me potentially via - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdeploy/thread/c1e72d2a-d360-4ff0-b2f5-1a9ae149df18 and http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.exchange.admin&mid=00d4a681-f588-4eed-b4f8-5c3645e7376c&sloc=en-us

I had an issue similar to this. Win2k3 Ex07. All of my Outlook 2007
users were getting prompted over and over for the username and
password. It wasn't checking the certificate that they had installed
via internet explorer. To fix the problem, I opened IIS on the
Exchange server and checked the following directories under the
default website (the root site(default web site), oab, autodiscover).
Under the directory security tab, click Edit in the Secure
Communications section. I had the require SSL checked and the 128bit
encryption, but under Client Certificates, it was set to ignore. Once
I changed that to Accept for each of the folders, stopped and started
IIS, I stopped being prompted all the time for credentials. Hopefully
this will help someone in the future.
Just confirmed fixed for client!!!

there is a flashing window which keeps asking: "enter your name and password for the server "192.168.1.102" (which is my Macbook's ip address)". choices are:
connect as: Guest or Registered User; Name and password; at the bottom: cancel or connect....
whatever I do it keeps coming back! I select: guest , click connect; it says "the server 192.168.1.102 does not allow Guest access".
I select Registered User; enter Name and password, the window disappears for a second without any popups but comes back up again .... "enter your name and password for the server........."
Just to see what response I would get I wrote different/wrong name and password; it said "you entered an invalid username or password please try again".... and then I click OK ....
and I am back to square one! I click cancel same thing ....window keeps coming back up asking me to "enter name and password for the server......."
Meanwhile when I open Finder; under SHARED I see 2 entries: "192.168.1.102" connected as "Ni... ZA..." (My user name) and "Ni.... Macbook" which has the same ip address as above and also connected as nidra... my other user name.
All the sharing files are on; security/firewall is off...
I just bought the iMac, 21.5 inch, 2.5 ghz, intel core quad i5, 500 gbOn your MB, go to system preferences>user and enable the guest account and login to that account
On your MB, go to system preferences>user and create a new user for remote access, choose a password and login to that account.
Either of these should work, if not, post back. -
Sharepoint2013 Stop asking for UserName and Password
Hi,
I have Installed New sharePoint2013 Server , I face Issue that Sharepoint Site keep asking for UserName and Password aeach Time.
I set as windows authentication in both IIS and Central Administration ,
and I configure The IE and I set Automatic Login with Current Username And Password and I put it in Trusted site and nothing change.
I also have sharepoint 2010 server and when I configure it like above it
stopped ask me for UserName and Password ,
Can any one help me what maybe the problem in SharePoint server2013.
thank you,,,Hi,
Try following these steps:
Adding the site to Local Intranet Zone:
Navigate to Tools > Internet Options
Under Security tab, navigate to Local Intranet > Sites > Advanced. Enter the URL of your SharePoint site and click Add. Uncheck theRequire server
verification (https:) for all sites in this zone box and click Close
Adding the entry to the Credentials Manager:
Go to Start > Run and type in control keymgr.dll to open the Windows key manager.
Alternatevily: navigate to Contorl Panel > User Accounts > Manager Windows Credentials
Select Add a generic credential
Add your SharePoint site URL, login and password to the corresponding fields. If this entry already exists, edit it to have your login credentials.
Reboot the computer.
If you are missing the Add button, you may want to modify Windows Registry to be able to save the password.
Note: for editing Windows Registry, administrator rights are required. Editing Windows Registry is not safe and you will perform it at your own risk.
In Windows, go to Start > Run and enter regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\.
Find the DisableDomainCreds entry. A value of 1 (enabled) will prevent you from saving new credentials.
Change the value to 0 and reboot. Now you should have the Add button available. Note that 0 is the default value.
Also check the LmCompatibilityLevel entry. It should be set to 3, which is the default value. If you have another value, change it to 3. If it does not
work with 3, then also try it with 2.
Reboot the computer to apply changes.

Keeps asking for username password proxy server
When i start Firefox 8 at work, Firefox keeps asking for username and password. I have fild in the network settings to not use a proxyserver for: 150.0.*;12.0.*.
Now the startpage of Firefox is our ourIntranet which is: http://ourintranet (which has a ip example: 150.0.2.3
So what i want to do is: use proxy except for this ip: xxxxxxxx, because this ip is http:\\ourintranet
Now i cannot go to http:\\ourintranet because he keeps asking for password.I'm not sure why it's not working. I think Firefox looks in the hosts file and then the configured/automatic DNS server for address resolution, in that order. To specify otherwise (for eg. a proxy for address resolution) the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.proxy.socks_remote_dns network.proxy.socks_remote_dns] in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] has to be set to true.
You can also check in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile]. A new profile would have the default settings and wouldn't usually have any installed extensions and would be clean. You can try then try the proxy settings.
The 150.0.2.0/24 should work (24 bits for the network with 254 addresses - http://www.subnet-calculator.com/cidr.php) unless perhaps the network is super-netted in which case you can also try the supernet prefix instead of /24. -
Problem with iWeb asking for username and password to access my public site
Today for some reason anyone trying to access my site is being asked for username and password. I have made no changes that would require a password. My site has always been public.
I am having the same problems. My site is public, I checked the settings on the public folder on MobileMe to ensure that it was public and did not require password protection either. But for some odd reason, even though I didn't change anything, my site's pages seem to require a user name and password to get into them. If one continues to click cancel, the page continues to load.
This does not happen every single time, but it happens more often than not. I have tried this with my iMac, Macbook, as well as my iPod Touch, and I get this on all machines. My brother has tried logging in from another location using his Macbook Pro, and he gets the password prompt as well.
I tried turning on password protection to the site and uploading the changes, then disabling password protection and reupping the changes once again. I've tried uploading entire site, instead of just changes, but the problem continues to persist. I definitely need this issue solved since this site is important to me.
The site url is: http://www.globalwinetour.com
Does anyone have any suggestions to rectify this, or does anyone have any idea what is causing it? Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong? Please help me out!
Many thanks in advance! -

Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1 keeps prompting for username and password.
Hi,
I have a HP Pavillion TouchSmart laptop with MS Windows 8.1 OS. I had installed MS Outlook 2013 Standard. This laptop is joined to the domain like many of my users, however, it keeps prompting for username and password. The emails are still able to send
and receive without any problem.
I have tried to check the connectivity, both cables and wireless are well connected.
I have tried to reinstall the Outlook 2013, but it still occurs.
Attempted to recreate profile but it still occurs.
For the configuration:
I have selected negotiate authentication, and have unchecked the box that states
"Always prompt for login credentials"
Please advise.
Thank you.Hi,

Keeps asking for my hotmail password and saying its wrong stopped recieving mail
keeps asking for my hotmail password and have stopped recieving mail
Mail asks for your password when it cannot contact the Server. It presumes [usually incorrectly] you told it the wrong password, and asks for a better one. The one you enter replaces the one that is stored.
But often the reason it cannot connect is that the Mail Server holding your emails is temporarily DOWN.
Ignore those requests and take that account Online again later.
(You may have to re-enter the password, because it often clobbers your good password with the one you enter, and sometimes does not store ANY password after that stupid dialog box.) -
RE1000 asks for username and password
I have the RE1000 installed as extender for my WRT110 router. I was told by Linksys live chat tech that this would be suitable for our home network. When in the family room or on patio (where I have weak WiFi usually), the Extender shows on my iPad in the list of available WIFI and has excellent icon (the router usually has one or two bars and goes in and out).
When I try to access the Extender on my iPad, it asks for username and password but will not take it. Should I run setup again or what?
Solved!
Go to Solution.in setting up the range extender, it will give you the option to connect to your network. so essentially, you will not have to define/ specify the settings manually. the purpose of the range extender is to extend the signal of the main network, not create a separate network of its own.
i suggest that you RESET the range extender and run the setup wizard again. make sure to connect the device to your network. once the devices have synced up, you will be able to fully utilize this device. -
Why asking for username and password once entered
Hi!
While configuring a new account in Outlook 2010 from Internet it asks for username and password one more time even after entering it once at the beginning of the account setup.
Can anybody provide some details. Can't the automatic setup take the entered credentials once for all?
Exchange 2010 and 2013
Thanks.Hi,
Based on my experience, the credential issue can be caused by the connectivity issue.
Thus, let’s check if Outlook Anywhere connection is well by using ExRCA:

New Imac. I get rid off login password from security and accounts and restart. Now it asks for username and password and it's not acepting anything. Any ideas?
First, reset your password as follows.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
If you're being prompted to authenticate when making changes to files inside your home folder, continue as follows.
Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select ▹ Restart from the menu bar. -
