try clicking on connect anyway. you may find that the actual password is being masked by extra **** .its a security feature to hide the actual number of numbers, letters.

give it a try

Are you saying wrong, becasue you are counting the asteriks of your password?
If so, Win adds a few asteriks as an extra security feature.
Go to SHOW ALL CONNECTIONS in NETWORKING and click your connection icon and find the password field and change.
