Invalid Username and password Hey All! I’m having some trouble setting up my account. I made a thread requesting one, after I had the points, the topic got closed meaning everything was ok.. But then when I try and go to http://www.trap17.com/process/ for the next step it says: Processing.. Please wait!. Do not hit RELOAD or BACK.. Username Validated. Connecting to Database... Database Connection Established. Validating username and password.. INVALID USERNAME AND PASSWORD! I know I typed my username and password correctly because I’ve been trying everyday for the past 3 days. I’ve also tried different usernames/passwords below where it says: Enter a Username ( max. 8 characters allowed ) Enter a Password for your Account No go, same message. Any help would be much appreciated

OK, for your username you have to put Totalwar and your password.

If you are going to use the same username for your hosting and cPanel you have to type it in all lower case or you will get the invalid username and password message.

Thats what I was doing. My forum password has some symbols in it but I still get the same message regardless of what hosting password I enter. I would be happy to e-mail my information to an admin if that would help.

Please Enter your Forum Username: Totalwar, totalwar
Please Enter your Forum password: (ok, I'm not posting it here but I know my own password)

DOMAIN http://www.totalwar.trap17.com

Enter a Username ( max. 8 characters allowed ): Totalwar, totalwar (neither one works)

Enter a Password for your Account: regardless of what password I type, letters, numbers, forum, etc, I still get the same error message.

Totalwar,

you can PM the details to me here. Or a suggestion, go into your "My Controls" link and change your password temporarely to something with no special characters or symbol. Try to setup your hosting, use no special characters for the password during setup. When you are setup, change your forum password back to the one you like and you can change your cPanel password in cPanel after everything is setup. That way you don't have to give out your password.

if you would like to email me instead send it to "nilsc - at - ipbgaming -dot- com" and let me know when you sent it..

If you got it working just post here so I can close this post

Thanks, that did it, sort of. I was able to set everthing up but now frontpage is giving me problems about the server unexpectedly closing the connection. But thats another problem entierly so this thread can be closed. You might want to note that the password for the forum and Cpanel need to be the same to set up an account but whatever. Thanks again

Totalwar out
