You're reaching the server at the right port with the right protocol, and
it's telling you that the password you're providing for the 'web_admin'
account is no good.  I have to believe the server is telling the truth.  

Are you sure that account isn't set up with "Windows Security", as a trusted
account?  

Does the password have special characters that the shell might interpret?
(You might try putting it inside single quotes).  Non-ASCII (8-bit)
characters?  Or is it longer than 30 characters?
