Not Saving your Dial-Up Password

If and when dial-up networking won't remember your passwords anymore , you can have a corrupted password list file.

Either restore your PWL files from a backup or :
Do a file find on *.PWL and rename them to another extension (*.bak)
This will force dial-up to create a new password file

Notes : There are a few other possibilities:

1. You need to install Client for Microsoft Networks as part of your network setup.

2. You may have an entry in the registry that is causing problems:

  1. Start Regedit
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Network \ Real Mode Net \
  3. Either delete the key autologon or change the value from 0 to 01

3. If deleting the PWL file did solve the problem, you can also download the Password List Update (278 K) program from Microsoft to prevent it from happening again..
