Run as different user error with Dropbox
Hopefully this is the right forum to post in, my apologies if its not.
I'm trying to run Dropbox as a different user, but whenever I try, I get the error "Logon failure:unknown user name or bad password." The first way I tried was by holding shift and then clicking "Run program as another user." The username and password that I typed in were definitely valid, but for some reason they weren't recognized as so.
So I tried another gimmick, I installed Dropbox on the alternate user on C:\ and navigated to "C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Roaming\Dropbox\bin" on my administrator account. I then made a shortcut of the .exe to desktop, went to properties, and added in "runas.exe /user:username" before the target. Command prompt then came up asking for a password, and when i typed it in, the error "RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run.... 1326:Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."
I'm clueless, someone please help me out! Thanks! :)
