530 Login authentication failed

[chrissy]

No matter what I do or try I cannot connect to server in my Filezilla FTP account. I was in just a few days ago.

I've gone to the General tab and tried all the different options for resetting the LogOn type. Entering a password when required and then trying to re-log back into filezilla.

This is the CPanel information I have (if this helps):

Server Information

Server Name: HTN1
Server IP: 75.126.47.2

If you are using an existing domain with your new hosting account, you will need to update the nameservers to point to the nameservers listed below.

Nameserver 1: ns1.softlayer.com (66.228.118.8)
Nameserver 2: ns2.softlayer.com (66.228.119.9)

Uploading Your Website

Temporarily you may use one of the addresses given below to manage your web site:

Temporary FTP Hostname: 75.126.47.2
Temporary Webpage URL: ​http://75.126.47.2/~pgtricyc/

And once your domain has propagated you may use the details below:

FTP Hostname: pgtricycle.ca
Webpage URL: ​http://www.pgtricycle.ca

I even entered the PASS value into this website ​http://arnley.com/post/1071780134/online-filezilla-password-recovery and tried the password provided which was ZILL - that did not work either.

This is a summary of the error messages:

I'm at a loss on what to try and I need to edit the header.php file in order to get rid of this error on my wordpress site: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/pgtricyc/public_html/wp-content/themes/discover/functions.php:46) in /home/pgtricyc/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876

Anyways any help is greatly appreciated.

Please talk to your FTP server provide for your password. The password is either wrong, misspelled or does not match to your provided username. Again, your FTP service (service) provide can help you.

As as last resort, you can post in the forums at ​https://forum.filezilla-project.org/, but likely you will get the same answer there.
