  have found out an interesting thing. The issue is related to the  
length of the password, the previous two old wrong password had length  
of 8 chars. I tried  to add to both other 6 chars at their end and  
they both now  work fine. I didn't look for the minimum length working  
fine, but it's sure that a length of 14 chars is OK.

Derrick Brasher instead is ok with his 8 chars password. I have given   
my old wrong password not working to Derrick and Jeffrey and  and I  
think they're investigating about this issue.

Currently  I decided to adopt a  password  14 chars.

Thanks again


Enzo
