Failed User Elevation due to Incorrect Passwords Missing Password Prompt

Failed User Elevation due to Incorrect Passwords

  • If a User Elevation attempt fails due to an incorrect password, the dialog box typically includes a field to enter a new password.

 

Missing Password Prompt

In cases where the password prompt does not appear, you can manually update the stored password in AutoElevate by following these steps:

  1. Open the following program on the affected machine:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoElevate\AECredentialInput.exe

     2. Enter the new password for the currently logged-in user when prompted.

By manually updating the stored password using this method, you can resolve User Elevation issues caused by incorrect credentials.
