Ive been trying to find where i can change the username/password combination for a gprs or wap internet connection.
the only thing i can find is the initial prompt when i first dial the connection, but surely it can be changed at a later stage.
Does anyone know how to get into these settings?
passwords
i think these are server based passwords, not something a user can change. you will have your own security set up on your xda, the passwords used are login passwords
yes but i want to change them as my access passwords are different depending on which sim card i use.
I know, it is really annoying. If you select the option "Save Password", I couldn't find a way to change the password.
Either you may create another connection with different name having different username or password.
There is a way to find out the stored username.
Run a registry editor, and go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Comm->RasBook and look for your connection listed in the tree.
I believe the only way to reset the password is to remove the registry entry (or the modem entry in connection manager) and create a new connection, though I don't believe it to be a bright idea.
While on the subject, I discovered that if you delete the connection:
Settings->Connections->Modify->General Tab, the modem connection neither gets deleted nor is displayed. If you try to create another modem connection of the same name, it just says that modem already exists, but does not show up.

I was having a play with my new SD WiFi card, and was accessing my D-Link routers configuration application which was at IP 192.168.0.11.
I was presented with the login dialog in which I enetered the admin username and password and checked the option to save password, however, the login was obvisouly incorrect and I got a 401 Authorization Required returned.
No whenever I go to my router I get the same 401. I have tried a softreset, changing the IP of the router, changing the login details on the router and everything. I have cleared cookies and temporary internet files.
I used to be able to view the application fine before I checked the save password option.
Can anybody advise of how to get around this problem? Is there a DB I can delete something from and how???
Cheers,
Dave
Do you must enter in the router system io in internet? if you want to go in internet you don't must enter the router password!
Is the Domain empty?
Cheers tuitt,
I got some help from MattM at http://www.Mtekk.com.au and managed to get around the problem by deleting the the DLink password from the registry.
Take a look at http://www.mtekk.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?p=6244#6244 for more info.

Hi everybody!
I have a little problem. I've set up a home network with a wireless router. I shared some folders on my PC so I can access the files from my Jamin.
So far so good, I managed to access the folders from PIE.
The problems started when I wanted to change user name and password. When I enter a network path PIE pops up a screen asking for user, password and domain. I made the mistake of checking 'remember password' box and now I can't get to this screen again so I can't change the login and access shares on my company network.
So how do I get explorer to ask for a password again? (without doing hard reset)
Or is there an app to manage this thing? I tried pocketLAN but it doesn't have this option.
Thanks in advance.
have yoy tried to look in the registry for key's about this?
had the same problem on accessing a website.
using regedit i found an entry in registry with the userid, deleted that entry and the next time i was asked for the password again.
hope this helpes
Actually, this is the first thing I tried.
Looked for the user name, then for computer name but all I got was the AS regs.
Maybe it was me, or the PHM reg edit.
Ether way, I solved it by changing the password, but if you fined that key again some time I would appreciate the info, and maybe someone else will two.
At least I learned my lesson: Never ever ever click the 'remember password box' darn M$. :x
Thank for the reply though.
i did a find of a userid which i used and found it in registry via the find options and a search in the entire registry.
it was found in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Activesync\Partners\.....
maybe this helpes?
Thanks for the effort, but this just kill the partnership to the PC. (Yep, tried it and was sorry).
So far changing the password seems to be the only solution (there are a couple more threads on similar issues).
Looks like another MS screw up.
I am wondering where the password information is stored for the cingular gprs settings. I am not asking how to enter the settings into the dialogues, rather where in the registrythe password info is stored.
I am aware of the settings located at these two locations...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}]
and
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\My ISP GPRS]
Exporting/importing these restores everything but the username/password info. What I am trying to do is save the settings so I will be able to more quickly restore them after a hard reset, which I do often because I am constantly playing with different roms.
or... is there already a premade cab file that will install the needed settings including cingular's generic username/password?
and for that matter, where is the password stored for activesync? After I import a reg file I have on my phone, I have all the activesync info properly entered except for the password.
I realize these are one time items to have to enter, but it would certainly make system rebuilding go a bit faster...
I hope you managed to get this far into this rather overly verbose essay.
found it.
hell yes:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\CredMan\Creds]
I am cool.
Okay, the question I have then is how did you figure it out, and more importantly, how do you know which key is associated to which connection?
Some crappy registry snapshot program
It is called ssnap, that coupled with a program called idiff, I was able to discover changes made to the registry after doing something (check/uncheck something, enter a setting, etc...)
http://s-k.al.ru/wince.html
If anyone knows a better program than these rather primitive monsters, please let me know. I am looking for something similar to installwatch for the PC by Epsilon Squared.
Those settings did not work anyway. That was definately the location where the settings were stored, but they must be coupled with something else. I was able to install and uninstall the username/password by setting/removing those registry entries, but after a hard reset, they did not work anymore.
I want to automatically select the default network to which the device connects
(the first combo in Settings->WirelessControls->menu->Connections->Advanced->SelectNetworks -
See attached image)
My problem is as follows -
When I set up the connection to the operator -
it sets the default network to be <<3G Portal>>
I want to automatically change it to <<Internet 3G>>
(Or in the worst case -
Automatically delete the <<3G Portal>> -
making the <<Internet 3G>> the only available option -
which will force it to be default)
Does anyone know how to do this ?
(Even if some Cpp/C# code is needed - does anyone know the API ?)
Thanks
Not a lot of sense there
Looking at the screen print
The phone is set up to access the web FIRST via the 3G portal (every phone needs a portal to get online).
The second option looks to me to be a WIFI connection. Wifi always take priority over gprs/3g/hspa
so unless you can make a bit more clear what your looking for......................
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
Of course, if you mean a different web access point get the APN settings and manualy add then from the settings menu - wireless and networks access point names - press the menu button - add apn
As I understand your Q, you wanna auto set the default network without having to manually change it everytime you hard reset / change roms?
Here's what I do for such things.
Get ceregistry editor, connect to your phone, export the registry to file, then, on the phone, change the default access point to the one you would rather it was, (possibly reboot phone here to be sure the registry has changed the default apn,) back into ceregistry editor, compare current registry to the snapshot, figure out which key changed, and to what value, then provision that reg key (via a cab, or provxml,) whenever you hard reset, after the network has been set up. (I have a cab with dozens of tweaks in it,you can just keep adding to it)

Thanks for the reply.
Both connections are over the Cellular network.
The first one (3G Portal) is set up by the operator to go via some proxies and stuff, which block certain services/sites as they are not stored on this proxy.
The Second one is "unfiltered" internet connection over the Cellular network.
Whenever the network is detected and set up, the settings are automaticelly set to go via the "proxied" connection.
I want to change it to work over the unfiltered connection.
I would like to know the registry keys or any other place this information is kept, so I could automatically change it.
I tried searching the registry for these values but could not get to a definite conclusion about where exactly the "default connection" is stored, or if it is stored in the registry altogether.
(If it is stored in the registry - I do NOT want a complete registry import/export - just the relevant keys)
Many thanks in advance.
Yes it is stored in the reg, but it stores an ID for each connection which is different for everyone, hence the method I suggested which would reveal both the key and the ID, I wasn't suggesting you import a whole registry, simply make a cab of just the one key. It would take about 10 mins to do, but I'm not running winmo so can't lookup the key for you.

Try using Data Controller by Red Frogfish. With this app, you can turn on and off all of your different connections indvidually.
Since, I have T-Mobile, I have the following connections:
T-Mobile Data
T-Mobile MMS
T-Mobile Internet
And, Data Controller lets turn each on or off as needed/wanted.

Ok, thanks.
I will try this method.
Hey there to all.
Since I had Windows 8 on my Ativ Smart PC, I have been able to change APN connection of my device in order to use a different connection than that provided by the system.
Simply,after clicking on newtork icon in status bar, i was right clicking on network name, selecting connection properties and then changing the APN name.
Now that I updated to windows 8.1, the ability to access to network properties is missing by right clicking the network name and I have to access "PC settings/Network" to reach my network.
No problem, up to now, but the issue comes out when i try to change the apn name.
first of all I cannot change the name of the apn given by the provider.
(this should not be a real problem, considering that there is the possibility to create a custom setting)
secondly, even if I set to use the custom settings, if I get out of network setting screen and then I re-enter it, the APN selected is back to the unwanted one.
Is there a way to edit "drastically" APN set by provider? Maybe a regedit workaround?
Thanks in advance
Andrea
