Web service authentication failed message.

I am passing a envelop to web service which takes the ID and password as input along with some message and returns the specific output.

The input envelop I am passing is :

INPUT ENVELOP:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
   <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
                   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
          <soap:Body>
               <GenerateUID xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
                         <strUploadXML xmlns="">Sample Test Data</strUploadXML>
                         <UserId xmlns="">PSK</UserId>
                         <Password xmlns="">GTU</Password>
                </GenerateUID>
           </soap:Body>
     </soap:Envelope>

As a result of which I am getting a response as:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
     <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
                     xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
             <soap:Body>
                  <GenerateUIDResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
                            <GenerateUIDResult>Authentication failed!</GenerateUIDResult>
                  </GenerateUIDResponse>
             </soap:Body>
      </soap:Envelope>

Is this a valid response because I am not able to identify whether tere is some problem in calling the web service or the web service is returning the message because of wrong user ID and Password.
