I had a problem with this too - but then I found out that the password it is
looking for is your POP3 password ( whether you use POP3 or not! ), and NOT
your regular Demon log in password. So I telnet 
to 'password.demon.co.uk', selecting option 3 from the menu to set my POP3
password, then back to telnet sdps.demon.co.uk 666 and bobs your uncle! It's
alive!

You probably know this anyway, Guy, as you're a guru, but just in case. Hope
I've helped YOU for a change!
