I get this error when trying to debug to device in Flash Builder .

Username/password invalid or time on the device is out of sync

I have the simulator in development mode and I have a password set.  I'm using the correct password inside Flash Builder debug configuration.  

Any ideas? I'm on Windows 7.  Tried turning off firewall and tried "Run as Admin" and it did not fix the problem.

Also,  I have the Virtual Machine set to the default NAT and  I'm using the IP address from the simulator in my target IP setting.  But, how to I know which IP to use for the host?  I've tried localHost, 127.0.0.1 and I've tried all other IPs I see in IPCONFIG.  none of them got me passed this error.

What does it mean that "time is out of sync"? 

Not sure how to get this working. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Don Kerr

Which version of SDK and simulator are you using?  (Check carefully if you're not sure, as many have mistakenly assumed they were using one version, including after an update, when in fact they were not.)

This problem you describe is supposedly fixed in the 0.9.4 simulator.

Everytime you start the simulator you have to set the date/time to the same as your computer. I think within a minute is close enough. You can set the time in the simulator by tapping on the configure icon on the top right side of the simulator.

EDIT: I just realized you don't have to do that now with 0.9.4. You may just have to upgrade.

Hi all,

I noticed the following message in the vmware log. 

Message reads: 

"Your host system does not guarantee synchronized TSCs across different CPUs, so please set the /usepmtimer option in your Windows Boot.ini file to ensure that timekeeping is reliable. See Microsoft KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/895980 for details and Microsoft KB http://.support.microsoft.com/kb/896256 for additional information"

Modifying the boot.ini file as recommended in the first KB item seems to have cleared up the time synch problem. Both sims 0.9.3 and 0.9.4 now keep proper time
