Comments.Text: Are you struggling with cron generally here?  Like via commandline you type `crontab -e` and if you don't have commandline access maybe your cpanel has a cron interface?  If neither of those then you'd have to ask your hosting company for support.  As far as "invalid user/password".... I wonder if there are more details you could provide that would make it easier for someone to help...?
