Help with league password please!

Merlino · 05-04-2008, 10:12 PM

Hi all, still playing version 6.5 of OOTP here....I inadvertantly clicked on the online league setup and chose "enabled" for the internet league mode....now I am asked for a password to do anything, such as sim games, etc.
Does anyone have any idea what this password is, or how I can revert back to hot having the online option turned on?

thanks!

Merlin

Try "baseball"

I'm afraid that didnt work...

Try using a blank password: hit "enter" on the password form without typing in anything else.

still no luck

If you didn't put a password, like it sounds like you're saying if you just accidentally enabled the online league mode, then you can just go in and change the password and it won't ask you for the old password. It only asks for the password if it wasn't blank in the first place.

I guess there is a slight chance that I may have hit one key and thus entered a password? All I know now is I cant play/sim any games b/c I am asked for a password.

whats even more interesting is that I tried this with my other league and the same thing happened...I know for sure that I did not enter any password and yet I still cant get past the password request window!

Well, I just tried it with a 6.5 league before my previous post and had no problem changing the password when it was blank. I even saved and loaded a different league in between just in case that would make a difference. You are going to the "online league setup" screen and using the "enter new commissioner password" button, correct?

You could upload the file and ask someone to get it for you, but I hope they try to verify that it's not a real online league before they do.

I don't think you did it.

No, I am quite sure it was someone else.

Correct, I am going to the online league setup and selecting Online League Setup. However, I did select the Internet League Mode Enabled button first, and simply hit enter..this didnt work so I chose the Enter new Commisioner Password and tried the same thing. Neither worked.
