Login through Mt4

[Julian Josef Budziszewski]

Hi all, ive switched computers and am having trouble logging  into mql5 through mt4,, ive tried all that was suggested in previous threads but to no avail.  

Here is what ive tried:

1. Change password to 8 characters

2. Deleted all in community folder and restarted mt4

3. Double checked everything

4. Used my profile name to log in and not my Email

Still,it tells me Invalid Username/Password

This is frustrating, any ideas please anyone?

Login to Community tab of Metatrader?

Possible reason for "authorization failed" issue in Community tab of Metatrader:

1. Password error(this is the most common error). Since it is impossible to control from the outside (the user may say that he entered the password correctly, but in fact he may not), we usually recommend that you first change the password in Profile - Settings - Security.
   The user receives a new password, enters it carefully (more accurately than the old one), and everything is fine.
2. An old version of Internet Explorer. This is the second most popular mistake. We recommend reinstalling (reinstalling) IE to the the latest (highest possible latest) version. Personally, I just had the same situation (not only "authorization failed", but I also could not enter the Market tab), and I just reinstalled Internet Explorer (.. because the tabs in Metatrader are not only used by Internet Explorer itself, but also, as many users noted on the forum - the environment that is created on the computer when Internet Explorer is installed).
3. Old build MT4. Here's just a tip - upgrade to the latest build.
   
4. Binding IP address to the profile(Profile - Settings - Security). We recommend that you remove all the "checkmarks from "Profile - Settings - Security" related to IP address.
5. the error was corrected itself after the weekend. Many brokers do technical support / equipment repair, etc. on the weekends, and if you don’t touch anything during the weekends so it can be corrected by itself on Monday.
6. Unknown reason. Very rarely, but it happens. It basicly related to the following: the user did not present the technical data/information enough for the specialists to fix this issue.

And make sure that you are not using Windows XP for example ...
