Some wiz kid got on my computer and changed the password on my dial-up connection. I'm running XP and no matter what I do the unknown password comes back. It's about 20 charactors long and I don't know what it is. I've tried to restore it to an earlier time but.......HELP thanks, Trish

Have you tried deleteing the dial-up connection and starting over?

Also, have you verified your password with your ISP?

If the password was changed with your ISP, you will need to change it with them to get your old password back.

Well, you must delete the old dial up s\connecton and create a new one, also run the firewall when you are connecting on the internet.

You can also give restrictions for example, on the dial-up networking you can tick the box which says that you are the only one who can change the password.

Hope that it will be helpful to you.
