Windows Vista Wireless Cached Password Reset

The first time you connected to the UWSP Wireless network, Windows Vista may have been set to cache your password.  When you change your UWSP password Windows Vista will attempt to connect using the old cached password, which may result in your account becoming locked.  To work around this, after you have changed your password follow the instructions below.

 

  1. From the Control Panel select Classic View.
  2. Click Network and Sharing Center.
    Network and Sharing
  3. Click "Manage wireless networks"
    Mange Wireless Networks
  4. Right-click on "UWSPWIRELESS" and select Properties.
    Wireless Properties
  5. Click the Security tab. Uncheck "Cache user information for subsequent connections to this network", then click OK.  Open the Properties again, then re-check "Cache user information for subsequent connections to this network."
