View Full Version : 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
