Pradeep, if a combo doesn't work, click on the "This login didn't work" button on the same screen that offered the first combo. I've got Firefox set to enable persistent cookies for
www.latimes.com. I don't care - it's not my logon anyway. This way you won't be bothered again once you have a working combo. I've done the same for a few other sites (Washington Post, NY Times, etc.).
The main page seems to have an extension for Firefox, but I haven't installed/tried it out.
