That's been known to happen. However, it's an eqemulator.net issue, not a WR one. You'll have to ask on their forums, or hope someone who reads here happens to have the answer.

We already figured it out. It's not eqemulator. It's the eqhost the WRPatcher uses. It has to be changed from:
Code: 
[Registration Servers] 
{ 
"register.eqemulator.net:5999" 
} 
[Login Servers] 
{ 
"lethalencounter.eqemulator.net:5997" 
}
to
Code: 
[Registration Servers] 
{ 
"register.eqemulator.net:5999" 
} 
[Login Servers] 
{ 
"eqlogin4.eqemulator.net:5997" 
}

After messing around a lot we figured that out. Also updating it in my how to create an account post.
 
Did this fix it for anyone else? It's not fixing it for a (different) friend of mine. Hes done everything, but hes just getting the same, invalid username / pw message at the login screen before the servers.

edit: We've figured out that its not a problem with his files, because i try to log in the account and i get the same error. "EQEmu error: Bad Username and/or password" My account works fine however.

By the sound of that, it really is the username/password that is bad, maybe it didn't get registered right? Did you follow http://www.wintersroar.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1958 ? (note that both join me page on wintersroar.com and the guide on eqemulator.net is outdated, so follow that guide).
To check if your login name has been registered correctly check out www.eqemulator.net/forums log in to your account, click the profile button and then you can see the accounts that are registered on that user. If the user you're trying to log in isn't shown, then you havn't followed that instruction.
 
Sup Wylie, Thallant here, but I got that bad username/pass thing over an over, and eventually what fixed it was finding the right combo in the Eqhost.txt... I don't think it was the one posted on the website, don't know where I found the one that got it to work, maybe on the eqemulator.net site. But the prob I was having is that one of my clients could log in perfectly, but the other accounts I made would always get the error. For me i'm sure it was related to the eqhost.txt thing.
 
Guys,

After you make the changes to teh eqhost.txt file that is in the WRfiles directory in the WRPatcher folder. Right click on the file and click properties. Set the file to "read Only".

The WR Patcher is overwriting the changes that you are making. Patcher needs to be updated.
 
my current EQhost.txt is

[Registration Servers]
{
"register.eqemulator.net:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"lethalencounter.eqemulator.net:5997"
}

and that has worked for me solidly for like 2 weeks now.

If you're still getting bad user/password try manually changing your eqhost.txt to the first one I wrote and, then use the patchme method for opening EQ (this means don't use patcher after changing that). That should fix it.

Are you sure you've done this?

It means. Go to your eqfolder change eqhost.txt to:
Code: 
[Registration Servers] 
{ 
"register.eqemulator.net:5999" 
} 
[Login Servers] 
{ 
"eqlogin4.eqemulator.net:5997" 
}

Then find your eqgame.exe right click it and chose to send it to desktop (as a shortcut), then right click and push properties, click shortcut, and in the end of the target box add: patchme
It should then look like:
