Because there's no account name or password area, that I see in Mozilla 0.9 I
keep on getting rejected from the newsgroup server by my ISP.  Hasn't been a
problem in the past but the new 0.9 doesn't have anywhere to put down a password
or anything.

Reproducible: Always

1.Try to log in and I get rejected
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Rejected

Expected Results:  Be able to subscribe and read

Try creating a new profile. That should fix the problem.

That works...
Is there a way or a fix so that you don't have to create a new account though?

I suggest using a later build.  Tasks | Privacy and Security | Password Manager 
should show you your saved passwords.  Did you perhaps enter an incorrect 
username/password (although not getting a prompt for a new one if this was the 
case, would be a bug in it's own right)?  This worksforme, however.

Okay, this is still working for me using the following builds on
poisonivy.mcom.com (internal server) with authenticated group "xrated":

Mac OS 9.1 - 2001052210
RedHat 7.0 - 2001052208
Windows 2000 - 2001052204

I get asked username and password when attempting to access this group.
