PmWiki allows you to work simultaneously with more than one password and/or
username, so it doesn't consider what you entered as invalid, just
insufficient for the action you are trying to do on that particular page.
(It remembers the passwords you entered and will try to use them on other
pages.)
What have you entered in [[SiteAdmin.AuthUser]] ? In the editing area, you
should see something like:
username: $1$mZ0ih5ve$04ljD3brYpWjK55n915D50
Note, there is no # or -> before the username, just optional spaces.
Which PmWiki version you use? What is your PHP version? There is a simimlar
bug in old PmWiki versions on PHP 5.3 and newer installations. Does the bug
appear with the latest version? Also, on some Windows servers, you need to
have passwords longer than 4 characters.
