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
