Special Note for error 691;
If you have to retype the username or password because of a 691 error message, clear the box, hit the backspace key 3 times in the empty username or password box before starting to type the username or password.
This usually works, if not, contact you ISP (Internet Service Provider).

This seems to clear a gap that may have developed to the left of the first character. Some times you have to do the username box also.
If you did not connect, contact you ISP (Internet Service Provider).
