"Error: Bad user/password" When logging in to EQEm

[Shawn319]

EDIT: This problem has been fixed | Thread should be ignored




If you are registering a Loginserver username using AOL, cable modem or another wierd ISP that messes up your IP then you might not be able to log in due to a bad user/password error.

If you get the bad username/password error when you try to log in for the first time, Have a friend or online buddy Re-Authenticate the account for you by clicking Re-auth on the account creation page, entering the username and password, clicking Submit and then logging in using the successfully fixed account (has to be done on the same computer that re-authed it.

(**NOTE: Please do not message me with account fixes anymore hehe.)

I tried this many times and i still can't log in

[Shawn319]

You cant be the one to try it. you need someone elce to do it for you.

[minoxcide]

I tried it on another computer... but... that one sucks too

Does the person who resets your account haveto be using an ISP other than AOLor Cable

[Shawn319]

most cable modems work fine when registering/re-authing (Mine does, i'm using Road Runner). If that person cant do it, move along to someone elce hehe.

[Bonkey]

Are we talking NAT addressing thats the problem? What about IP masquerading?

I could use a little more detail than just AOL/cable modem.

[Shawn319]

We dont know exactly what ISP/connection types do it but it seems to be most AOL subscribers.

It has to do with the Loginserver Registration page getting a differant IP than the one you use to log in for the first time (This is where it authenticates the account, when u log in for the first time)



If you register an account and then get the bad username/password when you try to log in (making sure you typed everything correctly and with correct caps) then you most likely have a IP that deceives the loginserver.

Can someon authenticate me pls? my AIM nameis Vipe9

pls pls pls send m an imthnks

[Syntox]

For others who still can't login... it's probably because they did not edit the eqhost file in their everquest directory...

It's still connecting to the real eq host, so naturally it won't accept your eqemu username and password because it's not the official verant one...

To log in, locate your EQHost file in your everquest directory and change it to this:

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin.eqemu.org:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin.eqemu.org:5999"
}

That should fix it.

Whenever my friends try to do this, they get a message about how nothing is wrong

when i try to create an account:

Cyberjunky: You *MUST* use your real IRC nickname.
You can also only register one account per IP address.

when i try to reset

Cyberjunky: Reset failed: Couldnt find account or password wrong!

im locked out either way.

I'm using roadrunner, i've had my name re-authenticated a few times, nothing changed. /sigh That eqhost thing, what if you're hosting a server? Do i need to flag my account in the world.exe? Any help would be appreciated, my aim is Kevish85, thanks

Error 0016:The station name or password were invalid,please check and try again,note the password is case-sensitive.

[Arden]

I noticed that my eqhost.txt was reset to the original data

[Trumpcard]

You arent startiing it correctly if your eqhost is being rewritten...

You need to either use eqw , or eqgame.exe patchme

[Drew]

When the re auth thing comes back up can someone get in contact with me via Felsinelf@msn.com so they can help re authent my account and log in for me? It would be greatly appriciated.

[Lurker_005]

Drew use your login for these message boards as stated in the readme. No need to re auth.

[Drew]

Ok now instead of bad username thing i get incorrect version..I have everquest shadows and patched all the way but kept a backup files. Even if i type in fake name and password it says incorrect version.

[Drew]

hmm nm there was another patch and now instead of wrong version its back to bad user name.

[Drew]

wait a minute...to get to the server list do i have to change my database with my name and password? Or is that only for hosting my own server?
