Problem description: My desktop computer uses an Ubuntu variant (Xubuntu) and I want to access my apple airport time capsule (3rd generation) over the wifi which the time capsule emits. This worked previously but now I've forgotten the Username/Domain/Password combination.

Attempted fixes: I have used my iPhone with the airport utility to connect to the time capsule and see the correct passwords. I'm able to connect from my iPhone because it only asks for a password, not a username/domain/password combination like my desktop wants:

What username and domain should I enter here? Or how can I connect using only a password and skip this dialog box?

Recent changes: No I can't think of any, besides the fact that I didn't log in to the time capsule from my desktop for a very long time. I dual boot with Win7 and the Win7 side can still access the time capsule using saved credentials, but I can't retrieve the right combination of username/domain/password.

--

Operating system: Xubuntu with Xfce 4.10, linux kernel 3.13.0-39, Ubuntu version 14.04.4 LTS (trusty).

System specs: Apple Airport Time Capsule "3rd Generation", as well as a desktop computer. Desktop is connected to the internet over ethernet cable, time capsule is NOT, time capsule emits its own wifi network which my desktop connects to over wifi to access the files.

Location: North America

I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes
