frontpage password

[Guest]

When I try to connect to my hosting Web server with FP2003, I repeatedly get
the popup "Connecting to www.mydomain.com" asking for my User Name and
Password. It is not accepting my password. (Yes, I am sure it's the correct
one because I checked it on the server.) Above the User Name fields I see
the name of a deleted domain (e.g., "www.myolddomain.com").

Any suggestions?

Contact your ISP and see if there's a problem on their end.

Either FrontPage or Windows is confused about the domain I'm trying to log
into as well as the appropriate password.

I've seen this problem before so I know that if I had access to the server I
could fix the problem by re-booting it. However, I don't and so I was hoping
that there was a way to fix this by using FrontPage to reset the password,
which I guess would cause FrontPage to delete the bad association it has
made.

Close FrontPage
Delete any references to the web from "My network places"

Run regedit and go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Explorer\FrontPage Explorer\Recent Publish List
and delete everything in the right pane except "Default"

Then do the same for:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Explorer\FrontPage Explorer\Recent Web List

Close regedit and reopen FrontPage.

If still no luck go here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/pspv.html and download and run Protected
Storage PassView and remove the old info from the list. ( be careful what you delete )

Will "probably" require a reboot.

Dave Berry & Steve Easton,
I appreciate your prompt replies and the information you provided.

In the end, I was able to re-establish contact between my FrontPage
and my hosting service's FrontPage Server Extensions by using the
hosting service's administration page to reset my FPSE passwords.

Thanks again,
George Klima
