A packet capture taken from my PC is attached; it should open in Ethereal or Wireshark.


I've looked at the packet log. The packet of interest is number 6 which is the POST from the log in form. It looks OK to me. The question is whether the password being sent is actually correct. Look at the last portion of that packet which is:

Line-based text data: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
    adminpw=zzzzzzzzzzz&admlogin=Let+me+in...

(I have elided the actual password here). Is the password correct? In particular, is the final character preceding &admlogin=Let+me+in... actually part of the password or is the password only the first 10 characters?

Also, see <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1996767&group_id=103&atid=100103> for another report of this issue which was apparently a copy/paste issue. Are you pasting the password into the form or typing it?
