Device: HTC HD2
OS: Windows Mobile 6.5, internal: 5.2.21869
Marketplace for Mobile Version: 1.2.1422.0000

2011-12-03 10:59:40.0643 LiveIdFramework E User authentication server response fault detail error code: 0x80048821, internal error code: 0x80041012, internal error text: The entered and stored passwords do not match.
[():0]"
