So, my Windows 8 computer has always done this, but now I can't fix it. At all. Basically, the launcher won't log me in, because whenever I restart [or turn on] my computer, it restricts the minecraft launcher from having permission to access the internet. I recently got hacked, so it booted me out when I reset the password. Thus I can't play minecraft, and since it's a new password I can't use any of the modpack launchers. And for those who complain about it not being an issue unless it crashes, there is no crash logging. The closest thing to a crash log is the message: "Sorry, but we couldn't connect to our servers. Please make sure that Minecraft is not blocked. (SocketException: Connection reset)". Obviously I have access to the internet or I wouldn't be posting this, and obviously I don't know how to check that minecraft is not blocked [again, I wouldn't be posting this then]. Now, I don't mean to sound psychopathishly rude, but I only have two games to play on my computer, Minecraft, and N+. One doesn't work, and the other is infinitely frustrating.
Edit: Okay, messed with some settings, and it works. Like, messed with Java and Internet settings. To those who are having the same issue, probably should go and search for a real resolution, or be impatient and screw with a bunch of Java settings, but as a start, make sure you have the latest version of Java. Thanks to anyone who was considering posting, and any moderators should probably bump this, as it doesn't help anyone.
