If you're running the application from inside JBuilder, the registry
settings don't matter.  Do that first in order to eliminate the registry as
a problem.

After that, start stripping out code until you get a minimal test case.  You
can then upload the test case to borland.public.attachments and someone may
be able to take a look at it.

The problem is the way you're using the password field.  The getPassword()
method returns an array of char; when you call toString() on the result, it
gives you the type and address, not a string of the array.

To convert it to a string, do the following:

String password = new String(passwordField.getPassword());
