Hi Manoj

The admin password for your app is conflicting with the 'Password Format'  
setting (your password has letters in it but the password format is set to  
'Numeric'). You can change your password format or the password in the  
'Settings' section of the application builder. Below I've copied the  
descriptions of the two settings that are relevant. They will be in the  
'Java Phone User Interface Settings' section of the settings page.

_Admin Password_ - The password for the admin login feature. Please note  
the "Password Format" setting and ensure your chosen admin password matches  
this format.  
_Password Format_ - Whether to allow alphanumeric passwords on the phone  
vs. numeric only.
