Fix: Failed to Login Bad Login Tekkit

You may fail to log into Tekkit due to a corrupt cache or corrupt installation of the Technic launcher. Moreover, an outdated Minecraft installation may also cause the current login error. The affected user encounters the error when he tries to join a multiplayer game or when he tries to log in to a server. The issue is reported to happen on Windows, Mac, and Linux. In some cases, the user faced the issue after he upgraded his Tekkit server. The error affected the majority of the users having migrated accounts.

Before proceeding with the troubleshooting process to fix the error message, make sure all Minecraft servers are up and running. Moreover, check if your internet is working fine. Additionally, make sure Java is updated to the latest build.

Solution 2: Clear the Cache of Technic Launcher

Like many other applications, the Technic launcher uses a cache to boost up things and improve the user experience.

1. Open the launcher and navigate to its options.
2. Now click on the Clear Cache button and then exit the launcher.

   

3. Then open the File Explorer and navigate to the following path:

   %APPDATA%

7. Now open the cache folder and delete all of its contents. Open the launcher and check if it is clear of the login error.

Solution 3: Change the Password of Your Minecraft Account

You may fail to log in to the launcher if the entries related to your account details in the server database are corrupt. In this context, resetting your Minecraft password may clear the login error as all the modules will be forcefully reinitialized.

1. Logout of the launcher and close it.
2. Now open a web browser and navigate to the Forgot Your Password Minecraft

7. Then switch to the minimized launcher and check if it is clear of the error.

Solution 5: Use a Different Mod Pack

Mod packs are a collection of mods and configuration files (sometimes textures). You may encounter the error under discussion if any of the mod packs are hindering in the proper operation of the launcher/game. In this scenario, using a different mod pack may solve the problem.

Solution 6: Change the Server Mode to Offline

You may encounter the error at hand if the server could not verify your account with the Minecraft authentication server (which may be offline).

2. Now right-click on the Server.Properties file and then hover over the Open With.

   

3. Then in the sub-menu click on Open with Notepad.

7. Now in the sub-menu, click on Open with Notepad and then change the value from True to False.

   

8. Then save and close the file.

2. Now click on the Force Update button and then click on Done.

   

3. Now log in using your credentials and then wait for the completion of the update process.
4. After updating the Minecraft, open the launcher and check if it is operating fine.

8. Then select the newly created profile (is step 5) and click on the Play button to check if the log in issue is resolved.

   

Solution 10: Reinstall the Technic Launcher

You may encounter the error at hand if the installation of the launcher itself is corrupt. Here, no changes to any files or settings will solve the problem. In this context, reinstalling the launcher may solve the problem.

1. Backup the essential data.
2. Logout of the launcher and then exit it.
3. Now type Explorer in the Windows Search box (on the taskbar of your system) and then in the search results, right-click on Explorer and then click on Run as Administrator.

1. Open the Control Panel of your server and stop the server.

   

2. Now in the left pane of the Control Panel window, expand Files and then click on Setup.

   

3. Then in the dropdown of Template, select Reset/Delete Server Files.

If nothing has worked for you, then try to use the browser version of the Minecraft until the problem is sorted.
