as far as i know i am using my active key. it doesnt come upi with a passowrd error.

Can you show an image of the error? Sounds strange.

I've had a check and this is the error that appears when the Posting key is used. Their shouldn't be any issue with the Active key.

You can view/reset them in https://steemit.com/@dannyshine/permissions, but will need the owner (or I think master) key to 'show'.

Good luck.

tahnks. sorted now.
