## Tools to access PFX : Windows Certificate Import Wizard : I get the same problem when I use Windows Certificate Import Wizard After selecting the PFX file. I need to type the password, but I get a window “The password you entered is incorrect”. ---

Hi @Joaquim1 > [@Joaquim1](#): > > My problem is that I need to use the PFXPasswordProtected, but in my application when , I call the PFX file using my password, it displays "The specified network password is not correct. ". perhaps you use non-ASCII characters. Or the file format of your settings.conf is wrong, so the password is saved as UTF-16 or something else. ---

Thanks a lot JuergenAuer, I checked all the file format and ANSI was ok. No UTF-8. But I was doing it the wrong way. I got the right answer from [https://github.com/PKISharp/win-acme/issues/1071](https://github.com/PKISharp/win-acme/issues/1071) The dirty way works ! I still have an issue with (Central Certificate Store (CCS). I also posted the error in [https://github.com/PKISharp/win-acme/issues/1071](https://github.com/PKISharp/win-acme/issues/1071) ---
