I have a question about Dial-Up Networking Refuses to Remember Passwords:

Do these proposed solutions also work for Windows 2000 Professional? Thanks, AD

not only do i have this problem but the password box often has a password already entered, usually about 6 digits, or asterisks, longer than my own password and it always appears to revert to this, even when I have overwritten it with the correct password and connected successfully!

Try using the "scripting" feature of dial up networking to fill in your login id and password.

Could you be so kind as to briefly explain how you write said script? My dial-up networking on windows 2000 doesn't save passwords correctly and I haven't been able to do anything about it. I was glad to see a post giving some insight to this issue. However, I don't know how to use the windows script host. Is it something that is easily done, or is it really more involved than a little post can answer? Either way, thank you for your response!

If you refer to the Microsoft website and look at Q262359 you will see that password displays are forced to a length of 16 characters to supposedly prevent hacking.
