re: The password that will not go away - SOLVED Wednesday, June 30, 2004 at 8:53 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Enna (2 messages posted) I feel a bit silly now... It turns out that even when the Dial-up dialogue box shows 16 dots, the computer is still remembering and sending my (shorter) password correctly! I'm not sure whether in the beginning it was sending the wrong password or not, but now it's all working. I was just fooled by that long row of dots! Pfew. Couldn't they just add a note explaining this? Good luck to you all, Enna On Friday, June 11, 2004 at 4:34 am, Rachele wrote: > >I had the same problem, but finally found a fix.
