It should be the same as whatever your administrator credentials are to get on XI.

What happens if you try to go to the CCM? Does it bring you to a login page that you're able to get in to?

Does your password have any special characters or spaces? There is a known bug that is fixed in XI 5 where the password is not save correctly.

To test this, create a new user under Admin > Manage Users with a basic password. Then test. If it works, change the password to the one you are having troubles with.

Does this help?
