I am running OSX 10.3.4 and I have WPA enabled on my AirPort. Whenever I log in (I have it set to automatically recognize my password) it always says it doesn't recognize my password. However, when I enter it, there are no problems and I'm online in a flash. It never used to do this. Although it's only a minor annoyance, I'd like to see how to fix it.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Not sure I'll have an answer for you, but please elaborate a bit. When you say "log in", are you talking about an iBook/PowerBook using AirPort to access your wifi network? I have mine set up to automatically choose and authenticate with my home wifi network (my neighbors all have it, too). This works fine for me.

When I've screwed it up, it just doesn't connect and I appear to have no signal strength. Is this what you mean by "doesn't recognize my password"?

Or is there some application you're running that's failing to log in? Or are you trying to connect to a server via wifi and it's failing?

I'm just not clear on what it is, precisely, that you're doing and how it's failing.

I'm talking about when I log into my OSX acct. My wife and I share the computer and we keep different accounts. Before, when I logged into OSX, it immediately recognized the password for AirPort. Now it says it doesn't recognize it and I have to enter it manually each time I log into OSX.

Thanks!

Okay, so you share a laptop with your wife and you each have your own accounts, correct?

How do you know that AirPort doesn't accept your password? Is there a pop-up window? If so, that would be a new thing - in my experience, when the password is wrong, it simply doesn't connect and fails silently. However, I use WEP, which may act differently.

Does it work for your wife? If so, use the Keychain utility to see what password she's using and make sure it's the same as yours. Also, make sure you save/apply your password - it might be using a default or old value.
