Bad username/password error.

[Shawn319]

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 can not handle anymore.)

[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

[Josiah-Divine]

What should we do if that dosnt work? I tried it a bunch of times with a bunch of different people, and it still wont work.

[Shawn319]

you have to find someone that can do it. even if that means joining the chat room and actually typing something =P

umm does this mean i go on then a friend logs into eqemu and re-auths my account i then try and log on right away or something i have no clue what you mean by this

1) You need to have a friend, who is not on AOL goto http://eqemu.org/login

2) Have your friend create a new account.
or
Have a friend enter your information and click the lil link at the top of that page that says "Reset Authentication"

3) Have your friend log into EQEmu with the account he just created within 15min.


After your friend logs in for the first time you should have no problems.

The same person that creates or re-auths the account HAS to log in for the first time. this is how it is "authenticated"

The loginserver takes the login, password and your IP and encrypts it, then sends it to the loginserver database.

i still need someone to do the log in for me since mine wont work and none of my friends play everquest please send me a message if you can help me

[crook542]

thank you for the very helpful info

Anyone using AOL or a cable that doesnt allow you to authenticate the account doesnt need someone else to do it. Just use a proxy in Internet Explorer or wutever browser you have. www.spaceproxy.com worked nice for me,go there on info on howto setup the proxy if youdont already know howto.
