The specified network password is not correct.
But indeed, IT IS CORRECT. I just installed Windows 7 RC for evaluation. So far, I have NOT been able to connect to any domains. I am logged into the machine as the administrator......found out how to do that. When I try to map a network drive, using Reconnect at logon, and Connect using different credentials, I keep getting the "specified network password is not correct". I have used several other "working accounts" with the "correct passwords" of each of them, and it's always the same thing!! This is frustrating!! I will NOT....EVER....go to Vista or Windows 7 unless Microsoft makes a way for problems like this to be "not quite so problematic". I've NEVER had a problem mapping anything with Windows XP. It's not a wonder that people want to buy new machines with XP professional on them. I have another machine with Vista Home Premium on it, and I tried to just format it and install XP instead, and it blue screens every time. I can't STAND Vista or 7 RC so far. Somebody else MUST have had to deal with this mapping problem. Any help from any of you experts? If I can make this mapping thing work, there MAY be a chance for Windows in the future. Thanks! Frustrated to the max.

Hello hyfromm,Is your Windows 7 machine joined to the domain? Also is your DNS set to point to the domain controller?-Scott

Have you removed yourself from the default HOMEGROUP? Is network discovery enabled?

Also check the clocks are synchronised on the two machines

Good tip to sync the computer times - helped for me. Strange that such errors are still in Windows without getting corrected (got my account locked out on the target machine several times before this fix).
