Hi Jack
I had about the same thing a couple of months ago except that I wasn't fully sure about my IBM password. It appeared to be invalid because it lacked a special character. So I may have put in the correct password but it was still rejected because it didn't fit the rules. There's also 2FA implemented on the IBM sites. So multiple reasons to run into a 'wrong password'.
Kind regards
Martijn van Breden

Yes, of course. My IBM ID and password. Like always. Except it fails.
It's asking for installation download I last installed from,
~/Downloads/IBM/RDi/disk1
Which I removed from my hard drive, just leavin the license .jar
Does it need disk1 to do an upgrade?
But anyway, it then pops the IBM id password dialog. And when I type in my IBM id and password it says:
*The credentials you provided are invalid. Credentials are required to connect to the IBM download site. Enter IBM ID and password.* Now what?

Hi Jack,
If it's IM telling you, it's your IBM password, not your IBM i user
name and password.
In order to update you are trying to get to the IBM Repository.

Okay, I read in IT Jungle there's a new update for RDi.
So I go to update my licensed copy and IM said my IBM ID and password
that I enter is invalid.
Which is nonsense, I use them daily.
Now what?
