If you get "Name/password not recognized" you may have mis-typed the name or the password -- check CAPS lock, keyboard input language or similar. The passwords shouldn't contain characters not found in the active codepage: if your wiki is in ISO8859-1, the passwords cannot contain the € EURO symbol or a Greek letter for example. Spaces in passwords are unsupported, and quotes or apostrophes may produce unexpected results - report any problems to the PITS. There is a known issue with PHP 5 on Windows with short passwords, I believe 4 characters or less - it is a bug outside PmWiki and we cannot fix it otherwise than suggest using longer passwords. If you have only "Password required" without "Name/password not recognized", check if the username or usergroup has the required permissions - a page can have individual passwords, different @usergroups etc., and a WikiGroup too.
