Remote Access. Forgot Password |
|
|
I forgot the password I used when setting up remote access. Is there a way
I can find out what it was or change it? Or do I have to uninstall and re
install it.
I am using Windows ME
TIA |

There is a registry tweak somewhere that will allow you to reset the
password to not set (but I can't put my fingers on the reference).
The easiest thing to do is to uninstall and reinstall probably.

Thanks for the quick reply Brian.
I am embarrassed to say I had this problem last year and fixed it with the
following
----------------------------------------
Load up REGEDIT(PLEASE if your not sure what your doing STOP!!!
Reading this messages), find:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Conferencing\Mcpt]
Take a note of the field : "FieldPos"
Now if you delete this registry setting, (make sure your not in NM), then
restart your NM, and try to go into the RDS settings you will be prompted
to run the wizard or change the password. Select the Password option and
you will notice that the OLD password field is blank! Now type in your
new password and away you go. This is MUCH faster then having to uninstall
NM and then reinstalling it, just to have the option to reenter a new
password.
