Bad Password?? I'm typing it correctly and still getting denied...?

[XxSinisteRxX]

I'm using a Belkin Model: F7D1101 v1 Basic Wireless USB Adapter on my Desktop pc and trying to connect to a Cisco DPC3825 Wireless-N Modem/Router. When in Backtrack 5 R3 and trying to connect to my router i get a Bad Password error every time?? Anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? All of my other devices connect with the same password i type to try and connect to it, including this computer when i'm using Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

It's a WPA2 connection and i've got the WPA 1/2 selected and i've tried others but it made no difference.

Find out what encryption your router is using first. [ wep,wpa,wpa2 ect..]

Then open up wicid and go into the properties tab of your network that you are trying to connect to.

Now go down to where it says 'Use Encryption' and make sure you have it on the correct setting..

If you are unsure then you could simply try all of them.

That's the thing, i have tried all of them and got the same response each time. lol i get pretty thorough before i post on forums so i don't look like an idiot when my issue is something simple. Any other idea's?

It appears that wicd has issues with WPA-WPA2 connections..I've read about it in some threads here...So I would strongly suggest you to install network-manager....

Uninstall wicd : aptitude purge wicd (no need to be redundant with apt-get remove purge and bla bla bla wicd). If any doubt, just refer to "man aptitude"......

The installation is : aptitude update and then aptitude install network-manager network-manager-gnome (or kde, according to your desktop).

In some distros like debian, when installing one of them (wicd or network-manager) the other will be automatically uninstalled since only one network manager can be in the system. But if you want to uninstall first yourself, do as I wrote above...

Luck.
