- The next problem was at the login box where it is automatically fully populated with dots – pressing enter twice as a work around allows me to enter my password as normal. Prior to these solutions I had tried to resolve the issues by: Scanning with 2 anti virus programmes – clear; Scanning for spyware – clear.
Symptoms
When you try to create an Outlook profile or connect to a Microsoft Office 365 mailbox, you're continually prompted for credentials while the client displays a 'trying to connect..' message. If you cancel the credentials prompt, you receive the following error message:
Forgot Admin Password On Mac
There are ways to reset your login password, but the problem is not the login. You'd have a hard time using the Mac meaningfully after login without the letter 'e'. If it's still happening in safe mode, it's gotta be a hardware problem.
The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.
Cause
This issue can occur if the Logon network security setting on the Security tab of the Microsoft Exchange dialog box is set to a value other than Anonymous Authentication.
Resolution
Note
Once terminal opens type in: resetpassword and click return. A secondary window will open and you will choose I forgot my login password. At that point you will be prompted to enter your apple id and password. If those credentials are accepted you will be able to reset login password and restart computer. Are you unable to login to your user account after your Mac went into automatic sleep mode? It happened to me, I left my MacBook Pro for a minutes, came back, and was surprised that my password didn't work. I tried again, again, again you get the picture. I was 100% sure my password was right, and I had not changed it. What was going on?
Microsoft Outlook 2016 and some recent builds of Outlook 2013 are not affected by this issue. Those versions have been updated to prevent the problem that is described in the 'Symptoms' section. These versions have the Logon network security setting disabled or removed from the Microsoft Exchange email account settings.
For newer versions of Outlook

Important
Modifying the Outlook profile by using the 'Profiles' registry path is not supported and may cause your Outlook profile to be in an unsupported state. Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you access it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.
Open the Registry Editor.
- In Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8, press the Windows logo key+R to open the Run dialog box, type regedit.exe, and then click OK.
- In Windows 7, click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press Enter. If you're prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
Locate the registry path appropriate for your version of Outlook:
Photoshop gratis para mac. For Outlook 2013
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice15.0OutlookProfiles
For Outlook 2010 and 2007
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWindows Messaging SubsystemProfiles
Under this subkey, locate and expand the name of your Outlook profile.
Under the profile, locate and expand the 9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676 key.
Under the 9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676 key, you see a subkey for each account in your profile. Select the first subfolder (00000001), and then examine the data of the Account Name binary value by double-clicking the value. Repeat this process until you find the Account Name value that includes your SMTP address. For example, the Account Name value points to **guidopica@contoso.com** under the 00000003 subkey.
Under the 0000000x subkey, locate the Service UID binary value. It represents a GUID (for example, c3 d1 9a 7b 80 1b c4 4a 96 0a e5 b6 3b f9 7c 7e).
Locate the subfolder in your profile that matches the GUID value identified in step 6 (for example, c3d19a7b801bc44a960ae5b63bf97c7e).
Under the subfolder that you found in step 7, examine the 01023d0d binary value. It represents a GUID (for example, 5f cf d5 f1 ba 5c 6f 45 b3 57 cc 5e 0d 16 94 58).
Locate the subfolder in your profile that matches the GUID value identified in step 8 (for example, 5fcfd5f1ba5c6f45b357cc5e0d169458).
Under the subkey found in step 9, examine the value of the 00036619 binary value. This value determines whether Outlook is using Anonymous Authentication.
Binary: 00036619
Data: 01 f0 00 80Anonymous Authentication
Any other value represents an authentication method other than Anonymous.
