Zero idea what I was doing wrong yesturday. Tried a different pc today, up and running in under 5 minutes

I did make sure that I did that. I don't know what I did wrong it must have been something

No actually. I ended up giving up on it for the day. I just could not work it out. Going to try again tomorrow I hope. I just don't know what I did wrong. Followed the steps to the letter

sorry for the confusion. It was xmrig for Windows I am trying to use. It seems even with copying the config file the pool address was not right. Hence wrong user and password. Atleast thatswhat I think is wrong. 

I am having the same issues. I am getting an no login/password specified.
