Solution 1

In the article[^] forum someone already asked this question[^] and posted an answer[^] himself.

So did you check the credentials being used?

Solution 2

The most obvious reason is: you are not providing valid login information.
Try it manually - cut and paste the exact data from you program - and see if it works at all.
