Changed password problems


I recently changed my password on the secureanywhere web interface and it works fine, but when I want to go into Password tab on the webroot site it shows " try again later or wait 5 minutes". Image of popup i.imgur.com/47ZbbX6.jpg

The other problem I'm having is the webroot password manage app for firefox wants me to use the old password to log on not the new password.

I have closed firefox cleared cache and cookies restarted the pc and still having the problem.
Thank you
 
P.S. This was post to support and they wrote back on how to change my primary  email.

Hi Triple Helix
 
Ya, I noticed that as well! The file they linked was 37Kbs larger size so I went ahead and used it instead of the wabbs2 file! No matter, everything is working fine and it has to be that somehow??? MY password database got corrupted. I find there were tons of saved stuff under the Default folder quite a few of those had no password or no login user name, or both!!?! I'm working on correcting those I can an eliminating those I can't. Once that's done I plan on a fresh export of the data!!! THAT part was something that I had no idea about until I joined into this thread, so I learneded me sumtin!!!  lol I also had no idea of that -uninstall switch on wrsa.exe. It sure made it easier cleaning up the registry this time around!

I'm guessing that they don't. I believe that the Geek Squad and Webroot are two seperate entities. However on the bright side this issue has FINALLY and for good been resolved!!?!  (At least I HOPE that problem has met up with a terminal end!!!) It's a bit of a long winded solution so I saved the steps involved in a document, only this time I created the document in Wordpad because I wanted to see if a link to a link to a file would work! lol here's the solution...

thanks EV1 that had a hand in this, including Webroot Support which provided some of the informations in that file! I really appreciate the involvement!!!
Hi Albert,
 
Awesome and great to hear just make sure you come back and visit as we are a fun bunch! The only thing I see wrong is that they gave you the wrong Download link for Best Buy Subscriptions: http://www.webroot.com/us/en/home/products/geeksquad-dl

Kwel I would like to see what they come up with and why Best Buy Geek Squad couldn't help you? But as far as I know they don't have access to Webroot's back end online console?

yes, that is exactly what i mean not a restore or (i didn't even know this one existed until Windows 8.1, a "refresh") which is a cross between the restore and the recovery...  the refresh reinstalls the OS without effecting any user documents. it DOES however completely overwrites Program Files and Program Files (x86) thereby eleminating any programs you may have installed, unless you installed those programs somewhere under UsersUSERNAME.
I think things are messed up because of the in place upgrade or refresh so your going to have to contact support some how to get it sorted as I think it's because how Webroot controls it's keycodes from being installed on more then you are aloud it's nothing we can do on the Community I will ping @ & @ and they will see this tomorrow during working hours. And Brian looks after the Best Buy Subscriptions on Webroot's end.
 
Sorry I couldn't help more,

the recovery was from the partition, not the 1 time only dvd's i was allowed to create
 
i just did use another browser on that link, but that "start here" button sent me to a place i had already been, perhaps a phone call is in order??!?  lol

Did you try another Browser to Contact Support? Can you do it from another PC? You can call them as well just call the one closes to you! http://www.webroot.com/us/en/company/contact-us

Yes, that was the way i removed the duplicate Redacted-PC (that showed up after a complete system recovery) as well as the Laptop-PC shortly after it went through a system crash. I was hunting everywhere for a cure to the password problem and I found something that i wasn't looking for so i decided why not?
When you say Recovery do you mean a system Recovery from a partition or a complete Windows Reinstall with the DVD?

this idea has just occured to me and i am now fairly certain that this particular problem lies in the way the browser webroot toolbar interacts with the system. i am having the exact same problem as in the previous thread i posted "can not access program on my system" which had been solved (but only temporarily). i have uninstalled and reinstalled the toolbar. and it works good for the first time i log in, after that it's gone back to the oldest password i ever started with.

Did you do a complete OS reinstall? Also did you deactivate the old entry for the same system on the online Console? Have a look at these 2 KB articles to see if you did it correct? https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/How-to-Deactivate-a-PC/ta-p/31240 and https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Complete/How-to-Reactivate-a-PC/ta-p/28954

Hi TripleHelix
due to this password problem i can not submit a ticket. i can get past the input email page, but the input password page just clears the field when i "submit". please see these ideas

Do you have another email address you can use? If so use it and put your other email address in the Ticket and they will sort everything for you!
