I have the "user name or password incorrect" problem too. Have tried 2 or 3 WLANs and 3G, rebooted several times and deleted/re-created the IM settings. No success. It used to work, but stopped working about the same time when you reported the problem.

I had this problem aswell. Nothing seemed to help - I deleted the account, created it again, rebooted...

Finally I used my other account, just changed the username and password, and was able to login. Then I logged out and changed back the original account details and now Skype is working again.

Clearly a bug, but seems to be easy to go around.

Hi,
I have the same issue. Skype was happily working up until last week. Whereby I now how the same "user name or password incorrect" error issue. I've tried all the points like you below to try and rectify the issue without success.

Other IM accounts still work find on the N900, only Skype IM is the one with the issue.

The only think I can think of now is that that the issue was instigated due to a conflict with another software app I installed from the extras repository..???

I'm getting "not signed in" for Skype. Everything else works. I've even updated to the latest firmware and still this problem.

you are not the only one experiencing the skype auth problem:

after working nicely for over a month skype gives me 'authentication failure' for the last few days (after PR1.1?!). the problem occurs when connecting via wifi as well as cellular connection.

skype login works fine when perfomed with the same login data from skype client on other machines. deleting and reentering account data on the n900 doesn't do the trick either.
_

workaround:

as already pointed out by someone, deleting the account, signing in with a different account and vice versa enables you to successfully login with your original account again.

remark: when trying to login with the temporary/helping account, i failed signing in with 'not signed in'.

cheers
