When I want to connect to my macbook from my imac eventhough it shows up in the finder it still keeps asking for username and password!

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 gb

On 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.

I connect my Macbook 13" to my thunderbolt to display on my HD television but it keeps asking for a KeyChain password for "user-hp". My key keychain password is nothing but it does not want to accept and not display my screen to the Television. Suggestion

I reset a Linksys extender, when I try to navigate Safari using The Linksys network, a Box askin for username And password pops out. What is this about?

Ask Linksys. If you reset the extender it presumably lost the username and password it was supposed to service. I'd just supply the name and password and move on.

When using SSL Word Files ask for username and password.

I have SharePoint Foundation 2013 setup and it works great. I need to allow users access when they are not connected to our local network, so for testing purposes I added a domain signed certificate and assigned it to IIS on 443. Internally when
I try to access the site IE now ask me for a username and password and when I open a word file Word then ask me for a username password again. If it didn't do it in http why is it happening with https and how can I fix it? Externally I know users will
have to login but they should have to only login in once right?

After doing some more research it seems that it is just not possible to use Windows authentication along with FQDN without being prompted for username and password in SharePoint. Can anyone confirm this? I am sorry what a bad design of a program.
Did anyone think at Microsoft that organizations might want employees to work from outside of their network in the year 2013 using the username and passwords they already have.

When asking for username and password the default username is wrong

I have had a look through all the posts here but I can't find anything that helps me. I don't want to actually change my username or reset my password. I know what they both are; however...
I have a recently had to replace my hard drive and now have a fresh install of Snow Leopard. When installing programs the typical enter username and password box pops up but the default username which is populated there is wrong. I have to change it every time before I enter my password. I don't know why this is happening all of a sudden.
For example my username is xxxxyyyy but it comes up as Xxxx Yyyy (note the space). If I enter my password without changing it it gives me an error. If I enter it correctly everything works fine.
This is more of an annoyance than anything. Where/how do I change the default username that is entered into that box.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I was able to change the default account login on my mac --
Go to System Preferences => System => Accounts & click on the lock to make changes.
Highlight the account you want to change & click on the Password tab on the right.
In the box that says Full Name type in your name the way you want it and hit enter.
Reboot you mac.
Your changed name should now be listed as default.

Linksys keep prompting for username and password when trying to forward port

As when we want to access the linksys router homepage we enter 192.168.1.1, and than we enter our user name and password. This is a normal step. But lately when i wanna forward a port and change the last 3 digit of the ip address, eg. to 101, i keep getting a promt for my user name and password but when i enter it correctly, it sill prompt me no matter whats. I used to forward port with no problem but do not know why this problem started to arise. Can anyone help me with this?
Btw i am using Linksys B router. THANKS

were u using the default password ?? because there is a possibility that someone in your neighbourhood must have connected to the wireless network and changed the router login password..
apart from this i don't see any reason of the old router password not working ..

Windows 7 ask for Username and Password to connect to TC...

...but I only have a password set for mine.
Is there a default Username I should use?
TC are listed under my network devices, and the Username/ Password then pops up when I click at it, but this might not be how I access the disk on it?
I have checked that Bonjour is started under services.
On my Vista computer I se my TC as a disk, without any problem....

You can use any user name.. the current user would be fine. The default password of the TC is public. Type that in and check to save it, and it should not be required for future access. Win 7 improved security over Vista, but I get the password request on xp for the first connection.

I keep getting asked for username and password on both IMAP and Exchange when on 3G network but not Wifi!

We are having serious issues with one of our Google Apps accounts. We have done everything we can think of to get it to work properly on 3G but for some reason it continually asks for the user's password no matter how many times we enter it. However, it does work on WiFi!!
The iPhone says "Cannot get mail, the username or password for USERNAME is incorrect."
This happens on both Exchange and on IMAP accounts. We have deleted the accounts and set them up again several times but to no avail.
It is also worth noting that I have exactly the same settings on my identical iPhone and have no problems whatsoever so we think it may be something with the google configuration.
Please help!!

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Ask for username and password for XDB when download files

Hi,
I have an application to upload/download files. While the user click on the file link for downloading files, a small window pops-up saying that "The server 127.0.0.1 at XDB requires a username and password.".
Can anyone shred some light ?
Thanks.
Edward

Edward:
Does this link work ? if it does then I think you may need to set up appropriate ACLs in XDB for the other IP address.

Word 2010 prompts for username and password when opening a document on trusted website

Hi Guys,
We have a website (not sure if the site is a sharepoint site) on our trusted domain that asked for username and password when trying to access it. I added the site to our trusted sites zone and this resolved the issue however when I try to open word documents
I get prompted for usernames and password again if I cancel the credentials box the document opens with no issues.
Below is some of the steps i have taken
- Tried opening other non office documents (e.g. PDF, JPEG) and they open with no issues
- Tried to opening the word documents with a system that only had word pad install and not Office 2010 and the documents open with no issues so it looks like it's an office 2010 problem
Can you please advise how I can resolve this issue and if this is a client issue or an issue on the web server thanks

Hi,
This issue is caused by the Office suit itself. When Internet Explorer opens an Office document, the appropriate Office application is started with the path of the document. The Office application then tries to access the document directly from
the server. This differs from other browsers and other file types. Most browsers download the file and call the application to open the file from the local cache. However, when this occurs, if the opened file is changed and saved,
the changes are only made to the local copy and not to the server copy.
To establish the richest experience possible, the first thing that the Office application does is communicate with the server to determine the server type and what web authoring protocol is available. The application does this by making
an OPTIONS request directly to the server.
As a new process accessing the server, the Office application is required to renegotiate authentication. This method is more secure than a method in which the new process uses an existing authentication that was established by the browser.
Please try the following methods:
An alternative with full functionality but with a calculated risk
Client approaches that can reduce the impact
Alternative configurations when the web server does not support DAV or reduced functionality is acceptable
For more detail information, please refer to the following link:

junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. why cant i just enter my apple id and password. or is there a way to change whatever name and password are on the new one from another mac so i can login. anything helps...thanks

Just open System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane with your root password.
Set the New Account to be an Administrator and fill in the rest of the data and then click "Create User".
I would suggest using this user to be YOU with admin capabilities. I wouldn't use the root user - too much damage could occur if you're not sure what you're doing. If you have files, etc., that you want to move to this account, simply but them in the Shared folder - or if you 'rescued' some old files and the like from your 'trashed' MBP, you can put them in your NEW admin account folders.
Hope I've explained myself well - call back with any questions!

Prompt for username and password when executing servlet

In Weblogic 5.1 when I set the username and password in weblogic.properties file, it prompts for the usertname and password when I execute the gatewayServlet
weblogic.allow.execute.weblogic.servlet.servlets/gateway.administration=vijay
weblogic.password.vijay=password
But I guess this is not the way it can be implemented in 8.1. Please let me know how I can prompt for username and password when executing the servlet. I dont want it to be done programatically. Please let me know whether I can set anything on the properties file.
Thanks
