Hi,
This happened to me when I am working both from the Eclipse development environment, and also from the web app. The 2 applications are using the same database tables, but different locations on the file system. I guess this causes some problems.
I changed the location of the repository in the file Repository/config/alfresco/repository.properties and changed the dir.root value to a folder on my hard disk. The web app should also use this folder. After this setting I don't get any "bad credentials" errors.

Hope this helps you,

I forgot to say but, you need to clean both the repository and the database for this to work.
Here is how I do this:
- Simply delete the folder where you will host your repository
- Delete all the tables in the Alfresco database. The tables will be created automatically first time you start Alfresco again.

:!: Of course, do this if you don't have important content in your repository :!:
