Cause

Solution

• Double check your username/password (e.g. is Caps lock disabled?).
  The username/password information is usually provided by the party managing the server. To obtain the correct information or to reset the password, contact the server administrator.

Once you have obtained the correct information and ensured that everything is in order with the account, open a new connection: menu: File - New Connection.
