#777 username/password

[extensive]

i was messing around with my phone and now it wont connect out to the internet. i keep getting a prompt for the #777 connection and i have no idea what my username/password is? i know verizons back in the day was generic so im hoping you guys can tell me what sprints is?

thanks

You need it to be what's on your account.

Try this:
Start -> Settings -> System
Run Update PRL and Update Profile
Soft reset your phone and try it.

Or, delete the connection, set it up again (name: Sprint PCS, dial #777) and when it prompts you for the user name and password, leave it blank. Next time you connect to the internet for the first time it will prompt you with the user name and password screen, don't enter anything and click the check box to save the entry. you will not be prompted again.

just leave them blank and check the box to remember.
it's been a common issue lately

I called sprint about the same issue and they said its a problem they are trying to work on. So it may not be on from your end, but from their end... Call sprint tomorrow or try it tomorrow to see if they fixed the problem.

From a Sprint employee, this is the right fix.
