I tried a new account and a 6 character password but I still get the same "Error - The username and/or password were not valid. Please check them and try again." on the EQ login screen and a long string of jumbled letters and characters in the login server command window stating "Could not find user <encrypted string>".

Someone suggested using a password of "11111111" (eight 1's). For some reason that worked and I was able to get past the "Error - The username and/or password were not valid. Please check them and try again." on the EQ login screen. Obviously that doesn't correct the root problem, everyone shouldn't use the same password but at least I am past the login screen>

Now I can work on the next problem that appeared: Error 1017.
