How to debug warning: SASL authentication failure: could not verify password?

Thanks Ivan,

Just have a couple of questions..  It's been awhile since I've downloaded and compiled from the source.

1) What is https://github.com/ivanrichwalski/Cyrus-SASL, when would one use it?

2) Which source would you download from, I see http://www.cyrussasl.org/mediawiki/index.php/Downloads#SASL_Library has 2.1.26 available? I wonder if that contains a fix.

3) Would you remove the current package first?

4) What files would you recommend backing up before hand?
