Error 1326, location 2

Incorrect password/username/domain

Step 1 - Check your user name

In the Backup User Identity settings check that the name in the 'User:' field is spelt correctly and corresponds to a user account.

If you are not sure whether the account exists or how it is spelt, go to the user manager (Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Users and Computers).

Select Users from the left pane to review the accounts that are available on this machine.

If you are entering a domain user and you are not currently using the domain server, you will need to check the user accounts that are available on that server; they will not show up on this machine.

Step 2 - Check your domain

Check that the value you have entered in the domain field is correct.  If you are entering these details on the Domain Controller, you must use a domain account.  If you are entering these details on a machine that is on a domain but not the controller you can choose whether to use a domain account or a local account.  If you are entering these details on a machine that is not part of a domain you must use a local account.

If this machine is not a member of a domain or you have entered a local user account, select the down arrow on the 'Domain' field and select your computer name from the drop down list.  If your computer name does not appear in the list, type it in this field.
If this machine is a member of a domain and you have entered a domain level account, type the name of the domain in the 'Domain' field.

Step 3 - Check your password

Make sure that the password you have entered is the correct one.  Try logging in to the machine with this username and password.
Do not use a blank password.  If the user account you are entering has a blank password BackupAssist will not work correctly.  Please enter a password for this user and try again.

Step 4 - Create a new account

If you are still receiving this error after following the above steps, run the user manager and create a new user (right click in the right pane select 'New User...', be careful to note the exact password entered.  Select the two options shown in the screenshot below.
