I understand, but I am saying that I had that problem when I tried to change the password in the file. Just a thought...

Also, the password that gets generated in that file is the one you would use to manage it remotely. It should be some long thing that looks like aeh3kdjdnsksjrksks0193 or something. I usually copy and paste it into boincview to remote control my boxes.

the thing is i dont remote controll my box! i only have 3 and i controll them all directly!

this is when i try to start the manager directly by runing the exacutable in teh BOINC folder
nbo remote admin at all! am sat infront of the pc , the only thing between teh keyboard and PC is a KVM swich!

It mentions your problem exactly.

It's a randomly generated 32 character hexadecimal key. So it only uses 0-9 and a-f.

Point taken, but I was just typing garbage randomly for an example. :-)

Sorry, I don't have a client to look here at work. I meant the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file. Just move it to your home directory or something and restart boinc.

The only time I ever got that error was when I tried to change the password in the remote_gui.cfg file. I was going to set a standard password across all of my clients and ended up with that error. Try to remove your remote_gui.cfg file (or maybe just move it somewhere else) and restart everything.

this is all teh files in my boinc folder, which one shoudl i move?

if i first kill boinc then run boincmgr everything works but then when i close the manager window the boinc client exits aswell :(

---

when i start boincmgr (by graphical or commandline methods i get the folowing error message "teh passowrd you have provided is incorect please try again" this happens when the password for the project is most definatly correct
this dousent normally happen teh first time i start boincmgr after a reeboot but usilly happens each subsequent time (even if i have killed the app last time.
this is a copy of the standard sysout and syserr when i start boincmgr
