I would like to withdraw my earlier bug report with the same subject
line. I discovered that an erroneous IP address for the server
machine had gotten into /etc/hosts (due to some IP changes in my
organization). Once the DNS error was resolved, I was able to connect
correctly and fix the password problem.
I apologize for the mistake.
