Wrong internet conection password
 

When my latest ISP conection- tiscali- was configured using the supplied CD ROM, I input a password as required. The trouble is when I click on IE or OE the connection box appears with the wrong password, judging by the number of characters it does'nt appear to be any of my usual suspects.

If I delete the password and enter the correct one, all is well. I've tried the only obvious solution (to me anyway) of changing the passord in internet options-connections-settings , but it just reverts to the wrong password again.

Any idea's ?

Super Stall,

Try uninstalling the ISP Software and install it again. Not seeing the software, I cannot point you to where it saves the information.

Take Care,

Richard

Funny I have the problem with my tiscali and xp. On mine, it has double the characters of my password. The strange thing is that when I use the "wrong" password I still get verified and am logged on.

Strange glitch.

XP encrypts/conceals the password so that it is not readable by certain password recovery programs available on the Net, whose URL I shall refrain from mentioning....

So it is normal that it should display more dots that the actual length of the password.

Because the password has too many characters I presumed it was incorrect, however it does appear to be the same format as 'wink wink' i.e. double the number of characters but it still works.

Thanks chaps.:O

I had the same thing happen to my puter, I could still log on though................ so I just left it. now it makes sense.
