DB error - invalid password

[Sique]

I just finished installing and swapping around the necessary files to run p1999. However, when I try to log into the server I get an invalid password message. 1st, I'm not sure where I get my account. Is it the account I'm using now on these forums? Is it the account I made and tried (and failed) on eqemu's site? I'm sure I'm just missing something minor but it is making me unable to play. Anyone have any advice or suggestions? Also eqhost is set to their new adress so that shouldn't be the problem.

you need to setup an account on eqemu's site, that one you use for the login.

[Xumosa]

go to eqemu's main webpage located here (http://www.eqemulator.org/)

Then log into that account

On the top bar of this screen it will shows home, forums, member list etc...
1 of the options should be user CP, click on that

Once you're on that page on the left hand side there will be a bar of more options click on "Login Server Accounts"

When you are on that screen make sure there is an account where it says Account 1:

If there isnt then click "create new LS account" and create it

Use the account you just made to log into the login server on EQ

Hope this helps if you have any more questions just ask :)

I'm having the same problem as above. Using my EQEmu login info... DB Error: Invalid Password

[Nuno]

New user here and having the same problem. Do the emulator people have to allow our usernames and passwords to work? Also is the game login screen being used the same as the original version? Ex/ station account and station password?

[Deadlyfury]

not quite sure but you don't need an EQemu account anymore?'

getting this error :( please help!

thanks in advance

Bump, same problem. Tried the fix in the third post, didn't work.

[ogmot]

Same here getting dB error got in after 5 tries then disconnected a minute after log on

[Quiet]

FYI this is not a database problem or password problem. It is a connection problem. I've had my EMU account for years, I know my password is typed in correctly and i am still getting an invalid password response or a delayed response or a no response at all on any of my 3 EMU accounts. Then when I do get in, I'm getting tremendous lag. My ping may only say 60-110ms but the delay in response from the server is enormous. No other pages/games or connections are delayed or slowed down at any level. I do not know the solution. Only the problem.

So we have to keep trying when getting this error ?

[TDawg713]

I am having this error. Any fixes that are known?

[Nuggetsauce]

I am also having this issue.

[Noctivant]

Bump - same issue. I have usernames and pws written down for p99 forum and eqemu forum. accounts are linked. neither set of username or pw is working to connect to the server.

[zajurai]

Same thing. Shoot me now please.

[Mouriel]

I am seeing the error as well. Any suggestions?

[feuretty]

Dont ask me why, but if u have number in your password, dont use the keypad even if num locked but use the Shift key to type number.

It worked for me with Azerty Keyboard.

Hey guys, I've had the same issue, and after fooling around with a few pseudos/password combinations, I realised the key mapping might be different in game as it is on the website.
Just try to type your password on the Pseudo field (first one), to see what it actually writes ! I had numbers in my password, and I used the keypad, but instead of "1", pressing the "1" key on the keypad displayed "&", so my password was wrong, simple as that !
So if you have numbers in your password, and you are using the keypad to type them in, try using your regular number keys instead, or try changing your password so that you don't have this problem anymore !

Hope this helps :D

Hey guys, as the others here, i followed the install/setup guide of p99, i made an account on both project1999 and also eqemu although when i try login i just get the error...not sure what to do.

i also tried what some have suggested of clicking on "user cp" and then "login server account" but i could not even find the tab or area where login server account is located...bit of a tech noob here, so really appreciate any help.

Thanks

Hi, I'm also having this problem.
Followed all of the advice in this thread and still nothing.
Anyone know the problem? I really wanna play again.

[Warrgod]

Hello, is there any fix in place for this? I followed the steps, I signed up with both sites, and used the same username/pass for both, but still getting the dberror/wrong password.

This fixed the problem for me!

Its your number pad. Use the horizontal number pad at the top. Not the one to the right.

[Brandon82]

Still getting error message after registering with both p1999 and eqemu…..:mad:

[Bavik]

I'm having this issue too. I'm pretty sure my password is correct.

[Bavik]

Ok I suspect that there is something weird going on with azerty keyboards when trying to type in numbers in the login/password fields. So double check you are actually writing a number when using an azerty keyboard.

[takewo]

I just have same problem.
Is this problem still exist?

[Dindaion]

I've newly installed Titanium and the latest patch. At the SOE login screen my credentials aren't working. I've been told that my project1999 credentials should work but they don't. I've reset my password and tried and also created a new account and tried... to no avail. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

[Alaska Gnome]

none of this works... that emu had me there for 1 hour running in circles.. log in does not accept this account i am on right now as valid. nothing here works unless frustration and anger is the aim .. in which case it is MASSIVELY successful !

[veptune]

Hello,

I have the same issue. I'm able to start EQ, but at the login screen I enter my credentials but it says invalid password. I have followed all the step :

########################

Step 1 - Create a Forum Account
You have successfully created and verified a forum account.

Step 2 - Account Links
You have skipped the EQEmulator account linking.

Step 3 - Account Security
You have successfully linked an SMS number to your account.

Step 4 - Loginserver Account
You have successfully created Loginserver Account(s).

########################

Any clue ?

[veptune]

Ok I found why, it was because 7 years ago I have already created a loginserver account.

Check this page, to see if there is not another account.

I think I figured it out, change password to have no #'s. It fixed my issue.
