Well, it isn't caused by an incorrect username.  Might be able to lock 
out a particular device, haven't looked at that for a while.  But not a 
network device I'd think.

As for the password, set up the user account with no password.

Ok, donning kevlar and climbing  into a foxhole ....

:-)

But, to get serious for a bit, you haven't mentioned why the device(s) 
are doing a login.  If it's to get some information to or from the VMS 
system, there could be alternate methods for doing so.

A bit more information might gather some suggestions.
