## Setting up [[EnablePlainTextPassword]] in the Windows Registry Before you can access AFS via an [[SMBtoAFS]] gateway that requires it, you must enable plain text passwords on your computer. 1. Download the appropriate registry file for your operating system (note you may have to do `File -> Save As...` in your web browser to save the file to disk) - [Windows 95](http://pserver.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/samba/docs/Registry/Win95_PlainPassword.reg?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain) - [Windows 98](http://pserver.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/samba/docs/Registry/Win98_PlainPassword.reg?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain) - [Windows ME](http://pserver.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/samba/docs/Registry/WinME_PlainPassword.reg?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain) - [Windows NT](http://pserver.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/samba/docs/Registry/NT4_PlainPassword.reg?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain) - [Windows 2000](http://pserver.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/samba/docs/Registry/Win2000_PlainPassword.reg?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain) - [Windows XP](http://pserver.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/samba/docs/Registry/WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain) - Look for .reg files at [SAMBA CVSWeb](http://pserver.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/samba/docs/Registry/) if you have a newer Windows version than the ones listed here. 2. Double-Click on the downloaded .reg file; this will add the appropriate setting to your registry. 3. Restart your computer. -- [[DanielClark]] - 04 Aug 2002
