22697 2001-10-26 10:28:00 Just a couple of ideas, It maybe still giving you the password from the very first time you joined, windows can remember your passwords and put them automatically into the box.

Then when you reapplied for a new membership, if your name and password weren't exactly the same (including capitals etc.) you could be putting your new password on your old name.
You can check this by highlighting your user name and retyping it, and the password, and see if you get on then.
