Experiment with the user name. UniVerse can be finicky; it may need the user name to be qualified by the machine name or the domain name, depending upon where it's authenticated. There is a system table called UV.LOGINS on Windows machines where you can map the three variants to a single user.

And, of course, the usual things - make sure Caps Lock is off and that casing is correct in the password.
