User Name and/or Password not accepted

I am trying to install something so it is asking for my username and password. No matter what I enter it says it is invalid. I have tried resetting my password and logging out and logging back in with the new password which worked. But still when I get to the install page it asks for my login username and password and then denies it.

When you boot Leopard and get to the Login Screen, do you enter the same Login User name and password?

TS3899 My email account has disappeared from my iphone4. No longer listed. Now won't accept my user name and or password.

My email account has disappeared from my iphone4. No longer listed. Tried to set up new email account but now won't accept my user name and or password.

Finally went to the Apple shop where a nice young man explained that I had to use the original password not the recently changed password - case sensitive too - and finally have installed the updated Adobe Flash player with no shaking! Maybe this helps you too. JL

I am trying to deauthorize my audible account. It says the user name and/or password are incorrect after I had just deauthorized the computer using the same user name and password. They should be different correct?

Deauthorize Audible Account... always appears as a menu selection, even if you deauthorized Audible or never even had an account.
Audible is a different account from iTunes and does not require the same username / password.

TS3276 Cannot send mail from my iPad...."user name and or password is incorrect"......mail can be sent from my iPhone

Why do I get the message "Cannot send mail, the user name and or password for my email outgoing server is incorrect"? I use the same account, etc. on my iPhone and haven't any trouble sending mail.

If your email requires a password for the SMTP server you can set it up in the settings in the General mail setup. Some i.e Gmail require a password for SMTP.
Otherwise you will probably get better answers in the iPad forum.

Where do I enter PPP user name and PPP password?

Where do I enter PPP User Name and PPP Password when installing a new modem? I followed directions for installation but a dialog box asking for those items didn't come up.
I reset the Wi-Fi on the System Preference > Network Pane after turning off all my wireless devices, MBP, iPad, iPhone, Canon MG5320 printer/scanner, and HP LaserJet Professional P2606N (this printer is connected via ethernet to AirPort Extreme).
I did this because of the following message:
Another device on the network is using your computer’s IP address (192.168.0.1)
Following directions I unplugged the PK5001Z Modem, plugged it back on, and then turned on each wireless device, one at a time so that unique IP addresses would be created for each one. This worked, but now I'm trying to get our Smart HD Samsung TV to connect to the internet.
Setting up the IP Internet settings, we are using the Network Name and entering its IP address manually and also having the setup find the IP address automatically. It connected to the modem but couldn't complete the connection to the internet.. Also use a Guest Network, but that didn't work either.
Is the PPP User Name and PPP Password still necessary? It was given to me by our service provider and was original in 2012.

I found the Modem GUI Logo setup on the web for my modem using the address of my IP address with http://xxxxxxxxx.
Everything looks good.
The internet connection with the TV is still a problem.

My iPad keeps asking me to insert my user name and apple password every 10 mins or so. Anyone know why and what I can do to stop this? Thank you

Myipad 1 keeps asking me to insert my user name and apple password every 10 mins or so. How can I prevent this? Thank you.

I don't know how wide spread this issue is. I've only come across the thread I posted before.
You can provide feedback to Apple here.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
I wouldn't wait for an update from Apple.
I have several other wireless devices (laptop, iPod touch, blackberry) which have absolutely no problems at all.
Since it's just the iPad wi fi issue, try restoring as new.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3828
You may have an app installed that's causing problems with your Wi Fi. After you restore as a new device, sync 5 apps at a time, then test the Wi Fi on the iPad. Keep syncing apps... you might find a culprit.
Scanning the Internet there seems to be lots of other people having this problem.
Do you have the links?

Linksys Rejecting My User Name and/or Password for 192.168.1.1

All of a sudden, my user name and/or password are being rejected when I try to enter the router utility. This is also happening on a second machine that is served by this one. Any solution, ideas?

Oops! I should have mentioned that the router is a BEFW11S4 and the pci card is a WMP11. According to the Linksys website, both have the latest firmware and drivers. These are Wireless B devices that, in the past, have worked fine. Lately, the second computer has been dropping connections like crazy and is driving me---well, crazy.

Old User Name and Fortgotten Password

I have a collection of songs on my iPod, that I cannot transfer to my current User account as it is set up for an old User Name (email address) that does not exist anymore. I have also lost the password, so when it asks to transfer I cannot log in.
Can anyone suggest how I can reset the iPod user name and password detail to transfer all my songs to my new account?

Wrong forum...
But to help you the default is USERNAME is left blank and PASSWORD is admin
And if that doesnt work using a toothpick or pen tip, press and hold the reset button on the back of the roter for 30 seconds to reset everything back to default.

I have lost the user name and the password and the phone now stopped the end of updating to IOS7

the phone now need user name and password at the end of updating the ios system from 6 to iOS7
what is the solution now and the phone now like a piece of iron

Have you tried adding your comcast account using the built in IOS mail app.
If you're using the Comcast Xfinity app, then look at their support site or ask the app developer.

Can't sign in to eBay: am told user name and/or password is wrong but not so.

When I try to sign in to eBay I am told (in red) that the user name or password is incorrect but neither is. No problem with IE.

Looks like you might have an old password saved in Firefox.
The instructions here should be able to help you remove your saved ebay password.

Rescue and Recovery Password not Accepted

There is a previous message with the same title but, it is marked solved. The solution does not work for my machine.
My ThinkPad T2300 (0768 -2UU) has crashed.
When I press F11, the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 3 screen appears.
- I assume it is Version 3.
The Rescue and Recovery Workspace Logon window then appears. It has  the following fields.
- User Name: AutoFilled with my main ID (Jim).
- Windows Password: blank
- DOMAIN: Autofilled with Lenovo-xxxxxxxx
- Check box: "I forgot my Windows Password" It is grayed out!
When I put in my Windows Password, I get the following message. "Authentication failed. Please try again."
If I change to another id: Administrator, John etc. I get the following message. "The user has not been enrolled with the Client Security Solution. Only enrolled users may log on or recover their password/passphrase."
When I boot the machine, the best I can do is to get into DOS.   I have no passwords set in Bios. I have tried to remove the password with the following command  (C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\pe_masterpw_app.exe -remove) .   I have scanned my machine and cannot find "app.exe".
How can I fix this problem?

Hi,
based on the informations, that you provided, this looks, like if the RnR partition was configured as secure for your CSS application.
So here are the steps, on how to get rid of the password request:
- start into OS
- open CSS
- go to Advanced-> Manager security policies
- in this new window you will see on the left side the option "Log on to Rescue and Recovery". Please select it and on the right site you can choose the correct option, that you want to user. Or just dissable it.
Your situation is, that you, or someone have protected the RnR partition with the CSS security policy. The command, that you noticed, that is not for this purpose, because there are multiple ways on how to set a password into RnR partition:
1) useind RnR => this is the option, where the command "pe_masterpw_app.exe -remove" would help
2) using BIOS => this was only by older systems
3) using CSS => this is the situaiton, that you see. The main hint is the domain field, which can be only comming from CSS
Let me know, if this helps.
Cheers

Adobe Flash Player rejects my user name and /or password

I have recently changed both my Adobe password and my Apple ID/Password but the Adobe Flash Player installer won't accept these to update my Adobe Flash Player. I have a Macbook Pro - OS X Version 10.7.5 . My email address has remained unchanged. Any suggestions? JL

Finally went to the Apple shop where a nice young man explained that I had to use the original password not the recently changed password - case sensitive too - and finally have installed the updated Adobe Flash player with no shaking! Maybe this helps you too. JL

Disappearing User Name and/or Password

This issue started in 10.5.2 and continues in 10.5.3 after using the combo updater. Many times when i wake my computer or cold/hot boot it, i type my user name in and then try to type in the password in to the password area and WHILE i am typing in the password the user name disappears! I cannot even figure out where to begin to solve this. I tried using Onyx to delete the caches and delete the DS store files but it didn't help. Any suggestions on where to start?
