Thread: Windows mail continues asking for username and password

I am having the desktop computer system which has the Windows vista operating system. This has recently started to happen, I cannot understand why as I have made no changes to my machine. Through, when I put the username and password in, it does not seem to register and just keeps popping back up. It is really irritating; anybody knows how I sort this out please? Thanks in advanced.

Close Outlook or Windows Mail, any other program that you are using that is giving you the problem.

2) Open up a Windows Explorer window. Paste the following into the address
bar:%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protec t

3) This must take you to a folder in Windows Explorer that has a single folder in it. The name of this folder will be very long and it will be full of random characters.

4) Rename the name of this very long folder by appending something to it. Anything will do, I used .old

5) you should now be able to open Outlook or Windows Mail. It will possibly ask for ur password again. But providing you make sure the box that says to remember your password, it only ask for your password this once.
