The problem has been reported on all versions, including the Enter network password error in Outlook 2007. So, let’s find out how you can fix things.

What does Enter network password mean in Outlook?

The Enter network password box in Outlook 2007 keeps popping up when you have made changes to the account or migrated the profile. It usually acts as a confirmation medium, but when the error keeps appearing, it points to a problem. Here are a few reasons you might be getting the prompt:

Incorrect password – The most common reason why the popup keeps reappearing in Outlook is that the password being entered is incorrect. Misconfigured settings – In some cases, users found that misconfigured Outlook settings were responsible for the problem. Corrupt Outlook profile – Even a corrupt profile can trigger issues, and the ideal solution here would be to rebuild the Outlook profile.

How can I fix Enter network password error in Outlook?

Before we head to the solutions listed below, here are a few quick tricks that might work:

Restart the computer and the modem router (wait for at least 30 seconds before turning it back on). Once done, verify whether the Enter Network Password error in Outlook is fixed. Check if the Internet connection is unstable, and fix that. Update Outlook. Disable any third-party antivirus, firewall, or other applications designed to modify the network. In case that works, uninstall the program, and the error should be fixed for good.

If none of these work, head to the fixes listed next:

1. Check your Outlook password

Back to Outlook, the Enter network password message usually occurs if your password was changed recently. Sometimes, you might change the password in the webmail and forget to change it in the Outlook settings. SPONSORED If you’re confident you didn’t change the password, try resetting the password and configuring your Outlook account again. After doing that, verify whether the Enter Network Password popup stops appearing.

2. Change your Send & Receive schedule

After making this change, you shouldn’t see the Enter Network Password error in Outlook 2007 for Gmail.

3. Clear the Credential Manager

4. Rename the Protect folder

Once done, the Enter Network Password prompt in Outlook should disappear for good. Many reported that can’t rename the folder, but that, too, is easily fixable.

5. Add the account again

That’s it! If nothing so far worked, adding the account again should fix things in case the corrupt cache triggered the Enter Network Password popup in Outlook 2007 for Yahoo Mail.
