Comment (by dougb):

 I was in a similar situation with a regular AOL account from years ago
 that I thought I'd try to log into. I was entering the pass with the right
 mix of upper and lower case which worked in AIM 6.1, but didn't work in
 pidgin.

 Now the sort-of-good news, by typing the pass in pidgin all lower case I
 was able to log in. I say sort of because smashing case on the password
 may make it easier for the masses, but it takes away entropy from those of
 us who remember our passwords.

 hope this helps,

 Doug
