1 - Why does it keep asking me to input my password? A: You might have the caps
lock key on, or entering the wrong/misspelled password, or you locked
yourself out of the internet by entering the incorrect password 3 or more
times. Our authentication software is configured to lock out an account
once the account has been denied access three consecutive times. This
is designed to prevent hackers. We recommend that you call technical support
to verify your password if you have forgotten it. |
