RDesktop wrong username or password when it's the right credentials

Solution 1

I changed the password and I was able to log on. Don't know what was wrong but maybe I find out one day :-)

Solution 2

Couple of potential things...

Could be the domain name - if you are signing onto a machine local account (local on the machine you are RDPing to), try using the machine name and a backslash before the username (eg computername\username). If a domain account, try using dokmain\username

Could be that the user is not authorised for remote logon. Try adding the user to the remote desktop users group for that machine.

If you had changed the Username. The folder under C:/Users does not get renamed. So when connecting using Remote Desktop use the username which is present in C:/Users. It works. :)

Solution 4

try this

  • Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools and under Computer Management check the user you created is the member of Remote Desktop Users and
  • from my own experience , Change the password
  • unheck the box "User must change password at next login" and check the box "password never expire"

  • finally try comparing the two accounts if the above doesnot work .

    I'm trying to connect to a Windows 7 system through rdesktop, and at the windows login I get wrong username and/or wrong password. I'm sure it's the right password.

    It was working before.

    I can login with another account through rdesktop.

    What can be wrong here?

    EDIT: I've tried to add the user to the remote desktop group.

      is the machine connected to a domain? How are you expressing your login credentials?
