Hi Alex,
Just to make sure we're on the same page, which password screen are you viewing? There are about 3 different ones that come to my mind, but they all cover different settings so I don't want to tell you wrong.
Hi Brad
Thanks
I am going as follows:
Start>>Settings>>Connections>>Connections>>Add a new modem connection>>(My connection1 etc screen) Next>>(Phone # to dial) Next>> Screen for User name, password, Domain>>Finish
This is where I enter the password and when I check what's up (manage existing connection) I see there is 16 X * in the password box
can you advise pls
Thanks
Alex
Oh, I see...
As an example...if you set your password as "Pass" it would be **** but when you return to that screen you see: ***************
right?
That is just a security precaution to prevent someone from knowing how many characters are in your password. If someone knew the number of characters you used, they could brute force attack it and find out your password.
Hope this helps,
Brad
