Re: Password prompt not coming up

Hi,
More possibilities...
If you're still at IE7, do you have *.grrow.org in Trusted Sites? Then go
to Internet Options> Security> Trusted Sites> Custom and make these
selections:
[Enable] Allow script-initiated windows without size or position
constraints.
[Enable] Allow websites to open windows without address or status bars
[Enable] Allow websites to prompt for information using scripted windows

Turn on the Windows Firewall, from Control Panel or Security Center, and
disable any third-party firewall or security suite.

IE> Tools> Manage add-ons... disable any add-on which might be blocking
pop-up windows.

IE> Tools> pop-up blocker... turn off pop-up blocker.

Internet Options> Privacy... are you allowing cookies from that site? Try a
setting of Low or Accept all (temporarily.)

Hi Don. thank you for your ideas. Most I have tried already. No it did
not
work. I even looked behind the site just in case the password prompt was
behind for some reason. I have upgraded to IE 7.0...do you think if I
totally
changed browsers would help? I really don't want to do that, but I'm
running
out of ideas. If you want to see the site I'm talking about it's
www.grrow.org after you enter the website the volunteer section is on
the
left down at the bottom. I'm sure if YOU clicked on the "here"...you
would
get the password box....now why can't I?

Place the site in Trusted Sites. From Internet Options>
Security> Trusted Sites> Sites> uncheck "Require server verification
(https:) for all sites" then add (for example) " *.microsoft.com "
(without the quotes) to this zone.

If it *is* a secure site, leave "Require server verification" checked
and
enter the site as https://www.sitename.com

Assuming WinXP...
Control Panel> User Accounts> [UserName]> Manage network passwords,
clear
any login information that's been stored for that site.

Also, Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone> Custom Level> User
Authentication> select Prompt for username and password.

Try clearing the Temporary Internet Files and deleting any cookies for
that
site.

I hope someone can help. I am a member of a group that for it's
volunteers
it
requires a user id and password. My problem is when I click to "enter'
the
site the password prompt doesn't show up. I automatically get a 401
error
(authorization required) I've done everything I could think of.
everything
my
isp could think of. everything the webmaster could think of. I think
you
get
my point. I even upgraded to IE 7.0 from 6.0 thinking that would
help.
It
didn't. The weird thing is today, it came up twice and I was able to
use
my
id's and get in. half an hour later, tried it again, the prompt
failed to
come up....I need someone's help. I need to get into the site as I am
a
coordinator for it!!!
