Out of curiosity, can you tell me what browser you are using? When it requests a password, there should be explanatory text which states that there are no warnings on the stories, and also gives you the user name and password.
For 2004 stories, the combination is user/user. For subsequent years, the combination is user/YYYY, so, for instance, last year's stories are user/2008.
OH! Now I get it. The message isn't very explanitory--I didn't understand that I was being given the username and password in the same message that asked for it. I can get into the archive now. If you still need to know, I use firefox.
