My mntner password does not work. Why not ?
You can easily check whether your MD5-PW password is correct. Simply submit query for your mntner (using the -B flag, e.g. query for "-B EXAMPLE-MNT"), copy the line containing the encrypted password (after "MD5-PW:"), then visit the following page and follow the instructions:

Other reasons your password might not work are usually due to these common mistakes:
- supplying the password in encrypted form instead of clear text;
- forgetting to specify "password: " before the password string;
- sending the password in the subject line.
