Have you gone throuhg the usual steps? i.e.:
- ensuring proper use of capitalized, numeric and special characters
- attempting to log in with a different client
- attempting to log into a different service (i.e.: ssh)
- Checking your client's character encoding settings
- Ensuring that the server is actually set up to accept anonymous connections. A few configurations I've seen will pretend that logging in anonymously works.
Chill. Bumping isn't among the most favoured of practices here, from what little I recall.

NAME
authck - check internal consistency of Authentication database
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION

it finds. Only users who have the superuser capability can run this command. When is used with the option, is run with the option auto-
matically.
Options
recognizes the following options and tests:
Check the Protected Password database.
The Protected Password database and are checked for completeness such that neither contains entries not in the other. The
cross references between the Protected Password database and are checked to make sure that they agree. If a user does NOT
exist in but exists in the Protected Password database, then all inconsistencies are reported. Fields in the Protected
Password database are then checked for reasonable values. For example, all time stamps of past events are checked to make
sure that they have times less than the times returned by time(2).
Fields in the Terminal Control database are checked for reasonable values.
All time stamps of past events are checked to make sure they have times less than those returned by time(2).
Shorthand equivalent of using the
and options together in a single command.
Provide running diagnostics as the program proceeds.
Produce warnings when unusual conditions are encountered that might not cause program errors in login, password and su pro-
grams.
WARNINGS
