   use. The combonation, when entered, does not log me in for some reason. I just
   get taken back to the login screen. Any ideas?

 * Have you checked the case of hte username and password?
 * Prompt the blog to reset the password and send you a new one, which will be easiest.

   as it has seemed to help alot of problems (if you are on a Win2000 (IIS 5).
