How do I resolve this problem: This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required

Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

You may have saved a bad password so Firefox is entering that rather than giving you the option to try again. Go to Tools > Options > Security > Saved Passwords and delete the saved passwords for that site and then try logging in again.
