#### Movable Type Password Failures

A common problem when setting up a Movable Type blog is entering the wrong password. Movable Type is unusual in that it requires a separate, web services password when logging in from an application such as MarsEdit. To locate the password, log in to your Movable Type administration panel on the web, and look inside your user settings.

#### How to get the API Endpoint URL

The API Endpoint URL is usally `http://[site]/mt-xmlrpc.cgi`, where [site] is the path to your site.

If this doesn’t work, take a look inside your Movable Type directory on the blog server, to see where the `mt-xmlrpc.cgi` file is installed.

#### How to get the Blog ID

The Blog ID is usually a number. Here’s how to find it:

1. Log in to the Movable Type web interface, the Main Menu.
2. Click the Manage Blog link for your blog.
3. The URL that appears in the address field of your browser should contain the Blog ID.

For instance, if the URL looks like this:

`http://example.com/mt/mt.cgi?__mode=menu&blog_id=6`

Then the Blog ID is 6, the number immediately following the `blog_id=` part.
