  1. Windows Security User/PW asked for when I try to access wifi


    Every time I try to connect to my university's eduroam wifi, a windows security popup appears and asks for my username and password. I've been unable to successfully bypass this, in spite of changing my password to the account which I'm pretty sure it's asking for. Is there a way I can see what account it's looking for and a way I can reset the password for that account? Thank you!

    :)

  2. Windows Security pw

    I have two networked home computers. Recently I made changes to network and now it requires a Windows Security pw to access. It accepts my Name but not my pw. I have tried my Home Group pw and my Wyfi pw and then I changed the pw thro M/S site but it still
    doesn't accept the new pw. Is there a difference b/t M/S pw and Windows Security pw?

    How do I set a new Windows Security pw?
