Login Error Wrong username or password on my Nexus Mod Manager

[ab3ee]

I have changed my password on the website because i forgot the old one and it works on the website. Unfortunately I get the login error with wrong username or passwod on the Nexus Mod Manager program that I install on my PC. I haven't used NMM for over a year but the log details are the same as on the website. It even says on the logging window, am i doing something wrong? I want to replay some fallout 4 and install a wide fix for my 3440x1440 monitor and some sweet new texture packs :( ...... Can anyone please help me solve this puzzle. THX

are you using the latest version of NMM?

that is either 0.65.2 from here , or 0.65.6 from github (I believe these are the latest version right now , and you can find the github link on the NMM download page)

if you aren't using the latest version , go and get either of the two , as any versions prior to these won't work due to a server update the Nexus has undergone some time ago

im using 0.65.2 from the WEBSITE .... and i checked my firewall and all OK. So i have no idea what now :sad: ...... I will try the .6 one and see

NOPE same issue.... :(

are you running NMM as admin?

this is usually a simple fix for such issues

I am getting the same error. I have 0.61.4 due to issues with possible loosing of files because I am running windows 7 Professional.

It is telling me that either the firewall is blocking or NMM site is down. I have looked and I know NMM is not being blocked.

please read what I wrote above

versions prior to 0.65.2 are known to not work

so unless you download a newer version , you are actively not using the solutions given to you

What do you mean run as administrator is that an option inside NMM ? if you suggest right click and Run as Admin same issue incorrect password or user. I have NMM installed in D not in My C windows partition, looked online and someone suggested that also but still not working. I tried unistalling then a CCclean and restart same issue regrettably.

I meant running as admin as you've done (there is no such option inside NMM)

I'm sorry to say I have no idea what could be the cause of this

I've directed many users to the update , as many have missed the announcement about it

but I can't recall anyone having the issues even after the update...... every single time the update worked , and the issue was solved for them

so it's something that I really don't know about

 

this isn't a solution to your issue , but if you can't figure out how to solve this , I recommend downloading the latest version of MO2 and just using that instead

you might need to look up a tutorial or two to get started with it (if you've never used it in the past) , but I wholeheartedly recommend it over NMM (I've been using it for a long time , and I love it)

so this won't fix your NMM , but at least you'll be able to mod and play your game , which is the whole point

Actually it finally worked...... I changed my password TWICE first time same issue then tried it again :))))))) and then finally it logged in. Not sure how but it worked. I was longed in the website so password and user were correct we will never know why it didn't work for the NMM. Anyway happy it works... Thx for the assistance :)

Same thing just happened to me. In my case I was trying to login with e-mail to manager. It worked on site, so it took some time realizing what was wrong. Manager accepts username only.
