The password supplied with the username was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again

Few days back when I am trying to create a web application in SharePoint 2010 I got the below error. The error message is:

The password supplied with the username was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again.

Then I remembered I have changed my password recently. So now we need to update the password also.
Step-1:

For this Open the command prompt. Then navigate to


C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedWeb Server Extensions14BIN and then type stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin <domainusername> -password <newpassword>

Click on enter
It will give you message as "Operation completed successfully." if successfully executed as shown in the figure below.

Step-2:


In the next step do an IISRESET and then try creating web application, it will work fine.

    1. Hi Majdi,

      Moss 2007 - 12hive folder
      SharePoint 2010 - 14 hive folder
      In sharepoint 2013 is 15 hive folder there. So you can use 15hive instead of 14hive.
