No, this isn't specific to credit status -- MM will ask for a password
in some cases when the connection fails to be established; regardless of
anything on the ISP network; the password it's asking may be the PIN, or
the password for the APN user.
Is this reproducible on 12.04?

Title:
NM prompts for password but doesn't configure the mobile broadband
interface -- Huawei E172
Status in NetworkManager:
Invalid
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I use a Huawei E172 3G USB dongle for my mobile braoadband internet
connection (on Vodafone).
What happens:
Approximately 40% of the times where I boot my machine and load my
Desktop, Network Manager throws up a password box that says "A
password is required to connect to "Vodafone Contract" HUAWEI
Technologies HUAWEI Mobile" (see screenshot). However, it does not
accept my password. There appears to be no pattern to this. This
happens when no changes have been made to my system - no recently
installed updates etc. On one occasion it didn't happen for as long
as five days, on another occasion it happened on four reboots in a row
- it really does seem completely random. The only option is to open
network-manager-applet, delete my mobile broadband connection
settings, then run the connection wizard again to re-apply them from
the beginning
What should happen:
Network Manager should not prompt me for a password for my 3G dongle
when I load my Desktop. I should not have to delete my 3G mobile
broadband settings in network-manager-applet, and then go through the
wizard again to re-apply the settings.
