Are you processing the password correctly? You have to append their
challenge hash to a hash of your password and then encode the entire thing
and submit that hash as the password.

I use some custom libraries I made, so the code won't be useful to you
as-is, but it should give you an idea of what you need to do.

Here's some sample code:

       $hash = md5("your password") . $form->get_input_value(".challenge");
       $hash = md5($hash);
       $form->set_input_value("login","your login");
       $form->set_input_value("passwd",$hash);
       $form->set_hidden_value(".js",1);
       $form->set_hidden_value(".hash",1);
       $form->set_hidden_value(".md5",1);

Best,
Kirk
