IBM HTTP Server - Admin Server cannot authenticate your userid or password.

Does anyone know how I can get the IBM HTTP Administration Server to
authenticate my username and password?

I open a browser -> type my server name in URL -> Open IBM HTTP Server
-> Selected configure server -> Login using username: xxxx and
password yyyy. I received a message, "You have successfully connected
to the administration server BUT the administration server cannot
authenticate your userid or password."

In the help, it says to create a userid and password you can use the
HTPASSWD utility shipped with the admin server. On XP platform ->
command line, I typed (from the ServerRoot dir) -> htpasswd -cm
conf\xxxxx.yyyy wpsadmin where xxxx = admin, yyyy = passwd, and
wpsadmin = login name.

Thanks,
Lee
