API02001: Invalid Credentials
What This Means
The username or password you entered is incorrect. The server rejected the login attempt because the credentials don't match any valid account.
Common Causes
- Typo in username or password — Check for caps lock or extra spaces
- Wrong account — Using credentials for a different site
- Password recently changed — The password was updated but the POS has the old one
- Account deleted — The user account no longer exists
How to Fix
1. Verify Your Credentials
- Double-check your username (usually email or WordPress username)
- Verify the password is correct
- Try logging into WordPress admin directly to confirm
2. Reset Your Password
If you've forgotten your password:
- Go to your WordPress login page
- Click "Lost your password?"
- Enter your email to receive a reset link
- Update your password
- Log into the POS with the new password
3. Check the User Account
In WordPress Admin:
- Go to Users → All Users
- Verify the account exists
- Check that it has appropriate POS access permissions
4. Clear Saved Credentials
In the POS:
- Log out completely
- Clear any saved/cached login information
- Re-enter credentials fresh
