Hi makulatura
Did you change your password recently? We moved the data from old forum to this community at 23th July. So if you has changed the password during this time, it may only remember your old password.

Hi TP-Link,
just out of curiosity: did you import all user accounts from the old forum in July or only accounts with a posting in the business part of the forum?

No, i haven't changed the password in old forum, just checked it.
Please advise what to do next.
Thanks

That's why I asked TP-Link which data they did import.
If the old forum data has completely been imported, you could not choose the same screen name. I had to choose a new screen name, then did bind the old account with the new account and as a last step needed to select which screen name - the new or the old - I would like to use.
Seems to me that only accounts associated with posts in the Business forum (not SOHO forum) have been imported ...
Otherwise your existing screen name should have been rejected at registration.

Funny thing; I just realized it appears that I registered my account last week (obviously relates to binding the old account), despite having done so more than a year ago. Other users' data appears unaffected - i.e. registration appears when it really did happen on the old forums. Weirdneness - part XXXVIXICIICIX :D

I keep trying to do this but every time I get the same "incorrect username or password" as someone else has stated above.
I am sure of the username and password as well. I even tried changing it on the old site...still not luck with the import.
Please help!

Not working for me. It keeps saying wrong password and I know for a fact I am using correct password.
