Knipa för framtidsutsikten 2007 som frågar Constantly för lösenord på utsikt
Om du möter ett göra rosenrasande problem var framtidsutsikten frågar constantly dig att för ditt lösenord, även om du kontrollerar ”, minns mitt lösenord” för att boxas varje singeltid, då är du i lycka, därför att avläsaren Malcolm skrev in med denna spets på hur man fixar problemet.
Denna knipa bör teoretiskt hjälpa med Windows postar som väl, men jag har inte varit kompetent att verifiera det ännu.
För du gör något annat, den nära framtidsutsikten. Du bör också notera att vi ska ändrar det frambragda systemet sparar här, så fortsätt med varnar eller inte alls.
Öppna upp fönsterutforskarefönster och klistra därefter texten in i tilltala bommar för efter, som bör komma med dig till en mapp med en singelmappinsida med ett jättelångt namnger.
%userprofile% \ AppData \ att ströva omkring \ Microsoft \ skyddar
Vad du ska, är behov att göra precis att byta namn på den mapp till någontingen annat (jag föreslår att fästa - som är gammalt på avsluta av den, så att du kunde lätt byta namn på den baksida, om saker går orätt),
Öppna nu framtidsutsikten om igen och skriva därefter i ditt lösenord hopefully för sista gång och att se till att kontrollera boxas för att minnas den. Du bör nu se att den original- mappen skapades på nytt igen.
På denna peka framtidsutsikten bör minnas dina lösenord, men du kan tätt framtidsutsikten och att öppna den om igen för att se till. Om du möteproblem med detta, dig kan ta bort den nya mappen och därefter byta namn på - gammal mappbaksida till det kända original som sätter allt baksida långt var den.
Notera: Utfrågning för förmiddag I från några avläsare, att denna inte löser alltid problemet för dem, så din milkostnad kan variera.

Is there a similar fix for Gmail Notifier?
I have been looking for a solution for this issue in XP for some time now. I tried this one to see if it would work but it did not. The folder location is a bit different in XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\robert\Application Data\Microsoft\Protect
The file recreates, but I still have to enter my password everytime
Any ideas?
in XP, windows explorer, how do you set the views to be the same. You have the options of seeing thumbnails, icons, tiles, lists and detail. I always want to see the detail and it defaults to tiles which are quite useless. Any advice?
i agree with AL. Is there a way to rig Gmail Notifier so that it automatically logs in instead of asking you to hit the “OK” button every time?
i had the same problem with outlook 2003. the way i fixed it was to add the credentials to the network passwords of the user. use the “control panel” -> “user accounts” and then click on “manage your network passwords” on the left pane. enter your mail server’s name, username and password. this should solve the problem
You are a life saver!
I have no idead how you figured this fix out but Thank you! If you are ever in Maine let me know I owe you a lobster dinner.

Chuck:
Glad to hear that it worked for you. I spent a lot of time in maine when I was a kid… enjoyed it up there.
HI, did not work for me
does anyone have any further ideas ?
I have Vista with Office 2007, tried deleting user accounts and removing outlook and re-installing. Used MS KB artical but reg edit section does not cover Vista do not happy attempting
I do not have the option to remember my password using office 2007 and vista…. is there an option to turn it on?
THANK YOU!!! Super quick and easy fix for a problem that just came out from nowhere!
I have the same problem, except in XP. I’m in a workgroup, so there is no domain to use the trick mentioned by ramy.
I have looked high and low for a fix, but nothing seems to work. I really don’t want to scrap this install and reinstall everything from scratch, but somehow I have a feeling that will be the only fix. I’ll keep looking for a few more days, but entering the password by hand is getting real old…
Just for the heck of it I just tried this again. It didn’t work and I also noticed that it doesn’t recreate the folder in the Protect folder…
Might have just finally found a way to fix it, although cumbersome:
Create a new User Account. Re-enter your POP settings etc, copy your Outlook PST files and it will be fixed. Now you only have to move all your data, documents and what not to your new user account, then you can delete the old one.
I’m just gonna have to figure out now how to copy all my settings, etc.
Herb, mine didn’t recreate one either, so I tried again with a full reboot and then it worked. Good luck.
I had tried a full reboot, too. Still didn’t work nor recreate the folder.
Creating a new User account worked for me, though, so now I’m happy!
nothing is working for me its not recreating the folder, and if i make a new account it still points the same PST?
wait reboot 2 times!!!! fixed so far
this happened after M$ push those update yesterday
Ramy,
Thanks for the reminder. I had the same problem in outlook 2003, but forgot how to fix it. Now it is done and the popping up stopt. Marianne
Nice one! Thank you! IT WORKED
THANK YOU!!! I have Vista and this was driving me nucking futs forever now! I couldn’t ever keep my email open and now I can. This is great!
I had this same problem, and while the fix allowed the folders to recreate, the passwords were not stored. I went one step further and deleted the parent “Protect” folder and all its contents. Next time I opened Outlook, it was recreated, and my passwords were stored correctly. So if this doesn’t work for you, try going up one level and wiping the Protect folder. Hope this helps someone.
After trying a few other tech sites, this one worked nicely for me, thanks!
Excellent and effective problem resolution. Just cannot understand how the problem was created.
This worked for me! Thanks a bunch for posting it!
YES, this did the trick. Thanks a million!
Note: It did NOT work without a reboot… I’m running Vista Ultimate SP1 and Outlook 2007 SP1.
I had to:
a) Rename the folder as described
b) Reboot the machine
c) Open Outlook 2007 an re-enter the passwords one more time
Again, thanks for posting this!!
Greetings from Germany,
Zorny
it is proved that Outlook does not ask password at that time but when i restart my computer it again ask for the password now what to do??
Have to agree with Zorny wouldn’t work untill rebooting Vista. Issue started after applying MS updates.
My outlook just recently started doing this and I don’t know why. The solution worked perfectly. Thanks
Alex–great tip to remove the “parent” protect folder. That’s the way I got it to work. Simply renaming wasn’t enough. Very helpful, thank you!!!
I use Outlook over https.
Deleting the folder didn’t work for me so I went to the user account=> manage network passwords section of the control panel and deleted all of the references to the exchange server. I then deleted the C:\Documents and Settings\(user)\Application Data\Microsoft\Protect folder and all is now working.
Thanks.
its still bugging me
Followed Alex’s advice. It worked perfectly!.
Thanks.
absolutely brilliant – seems to have done the trick in the simplest way imagineable., Thanks a million.
Thanks Geek, worked like a charm….
Finally a solution that works!!! THANKS!!!!
It worked!!! I have gone a whole 10 minutes without the pop up!!! Even if it comes back, at least I’ll have my memories…
Thank you worked for me too! Been bugging me for ages. Im running Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 Build 7057, on a SBS 2008/Exchange 2007 system.
Thanks again
Brad
Australia.
When it askes your for your username , enter your email address in this box, put your password in the password box, should fix problem.
Thank You Alex! Deleted the Protect Folder & it worked with Vista Ultimate & Outlook 2007!
Hello, I have read all the posts, and i didn’t see anyone with my exact problem. I hope someone can help. I have Vista home premium with outlook 2007. I WANT to be asked my password to log in to outlook 2007, and i am asked. The problem i am having is, when i send out an e-mail, it asks me for my password AGAIN before it sends it out. A very annoying issue. I don’t want to “save” my password, i still want to log in to outlook 2007, but i don’t want to be asked it again EVERYTIME i send out an e-mail. I hope someone had this exact issue and resolved it. Thanks.
Thanks. Worked like a charm for me, running:
Outlook 2007
Windows 7 RC Build 7100 x64
Thanks mate, this solved my problem!
Hoegie
Wow. What a lifesaver…this was driving me nuts.
I had the same experience as Alex – fix wasn’t effective until I removed the ‘Protect’ parent folder and rebooted.
Vista wouldn’t allow me to rename the Protect folder and I was a little worried about deleting it. Copy/Pasted it and i could rename the copy. Deleted the original and it worked great.
Thanks GEEK (and Alex)!!!
This actually worked perfectly on my system. I have Windows 7 RC with Outlook 2007 and it worked perfectly. Thank you for the valuable information.
I have tried each & every step which every body has shared but till now nothing has worked for me. I m using Outlook 2007 on Vista in a Exchange Server, can somebody please help me out from this problem.
Did not work for me. Outlook 2007 on Vista SP2 connecting to work Exchange server over http. Vista recreated the SID folder in microsoft\protect but Outlook still asks for password every few mins
Only way to solve this problem is by changing your password and use minimum 7 characters in password.
I’m having the same problem with Outlook 2007 on XP. My IT people tried all of the fixes suggested by Microsoft but none worked. I tried Ramy’s fix and it’s still not working. When I go back into Control Panel, the password is gone. I read the comments about creating new accounts, but that stuff is over my head. If anyone out there can give me detailed instructions for fixing this problem, I’d be very grateful.
I have outlook 2007 with XP. None of the fixes worked for me. I tried deleting mail profiles. Deleting the registry keys under the Protected Storage System provider didn’t work either. I finally applied XP SP3, then re-entered my outlook passwords. Now everything is working. If you don’t want to upgrade to SP3, you may want to try reapplying SP2.
It worked! Thanks so much!
Thanks Man. That behavior of Outlook was really annoying and you solution worked like a charm.
Thanks again.

ok so my grandpa has this issue with this office outlook 2007, and everytime he goes to use it, shawmail asks him for his username and password that he knows of, he needs a quick fix or do I have to remove office outlook and re-install it
Thanks, problem solved! =)
Thanks Alex, The idea about deleting the protect folder was what it took for mine to be fixed… hopefully that wont create a problem down the road.
Here’s a solution that worked for me:
I’ve been struggling with this problem (not being able to download mail to Outlook via POP) for quite some time
now with my Gmail accounts, and have tried all the proposed solutions out there (registry changes, mail profiles etc.),
but to no avail.
Then I noticed something interesting – when I tried accessing these accounts via Webmail, GMail wouldn’t let
me log in without entering the security picture characters. This made me realize that my POP could not access
the account because it is locked (I have no idea why, but it was). Once I unlocked the account, Outlook could access
the mail again via POP.
I ran a search for “gmail account unlock”, and found the following URL for unlocking Gmail accounts:
https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
If you are experiencing the annoying “Enter Network Password” prompt, all you need to do is to follow the above
link, enter your Gmail login details (and the security characters), after which your account will become unlocked
and Outlook will be able to access it again.
Hope this helps.
Gilad
Worked like a Charm! Thanks
holy cow, it worked. thnx bro XD
i got the same problem, with shared-maps on my network, maybe you got a solution to that problem also? (wishful thinking)
This, nor any M$ article worked for me.. even tried this one repeatedly:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290684
We have XP machine running 2007 after upgrading from 2003.
Tried: Edited registry (protected storage keys), new profiles, the works.
What fixed it finally was ditching the old XP user account, creating a new one and setting everything back up from scratch.

Thank you so much for the fix for office 2007 and the dreaded password request, all running well now.
I don’t believe this will work if you use Outlook Anywhere a.k.a. RPC over HTTP.
I just upgraded to Windows 7 and am now having this problem. I didn’t have the problem with Vista. When I searched for %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protect, it doesn’t find it. Has anyone found a solution for this problem with Windows 7?
This sounded like it was going to work, but, alas, it didn’t.
It did recreate the folder, but I’m still getting prompted.
I’ve read everything on the MS website that I can.
I’m so exasperated at this annoyance now, I’m almost ready to shell out the $$ to call MS Tech support.
