:-( The problem is - I cannot change the password...and there is only one userid that I can use to connect to this server.
There is one thing I noticed....
From the command prompt, if I try to login through Method1, it allows me to login whereas if I try to login through Method2, it gives me the same error message - Login incorrect.
Any idea why this happens?
Method 1 (WORKING) 
ftp -n
open ftp.servername.com
user username P\$a\$ss\$ 
>> 230 User username logged in.  Access restrictions apply.

Method 2 (NOT WORKING) 
ftp -n 
open ftp.servername.com 
user username 
>> 331 Password required for username 
I enter the same password i.e. P\$a\$ss\$ 
I get the error message 
>> 530 Login incorrect. 
Login failed.
