I take it you've tried every single password you might have used already?
And only to say that on my computer, the amount of stars in the box sets back to a pre-determined length once you've typed the password in, and so the amount of stars doesn't represent the amount of characters in the password.
I dunno ... keep on to them, they've got to be able to help you somehow.
First I had to enter it and re-enter it to get in. Then it shut me out all together.
Always set up atleast 2 email accounts and periodically forward the contents to each other. I do that anyway...
What's "your list"?
In any case, your NTL password should be printed somewhere on the letters you got from NTL when you registered for broadband, assuming you still have them.
> It's a random amount of dots!!! Crap
Snadboy Revelation is a handy bit of freeware that shows you what's behind the dots! Some NT / XP passwords can't be decrypted with it but it works for most. Works for my router and email (outlook) passwords, etc.
Do a google on snadboy revelation to see some reviews.
Just checked the snadboy home page and unfortunately for you it seems to have been hacked/defaced at the moment.
BUT if you use the google cache you can still reach the original page [URL]http://216.239.59.104/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLC,GGLC:1970-01,GGLC:en&q=cache:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.snadboy.com%2F[/URL]
You might want to scan the download incase the hackers have messed with it!
> NTL
You obviously got some tard at NTL CS.
Call them again, and as long as the account is in your name, they can reset your password for you. This happened to a friend of mine the other week, but the account has to be in your name for them to do so (They'll ask you for your account number, address details and password (not your connection password).
Call between 10 and 4 UK time too, as they now farm out calls to their India call center, who are totally useless, outside of office hours!

I think this is dial up, as on Cable, the modem handles the MAC address so effectively, I could come to yours and plug my modem in, and it would be on my account.

Again, I think it's dial up, and NTL on all accounts do not send you a password, you create it as part of your account set up yourself. They send you an activation code for BB, but as far as I am aware, they nnever send you a password for eithe BB ot DU
