  • I am having the same problem. Did you ever resolve this issue?

    Many thanks.

    usually the password field is blank
    look at doing it this way

    Sounds like an ownership/permissions issue. Browse to the WordPress directory type:

    ls -lah

    If the files are owned by root, or some other user that is not accessible to the browser, you’ll get 403. To change ownership, use the following command:

    chown -R user:user directory

    Make sure you are in the proper directory! This is a potentially dangerous command, so be sure to use pwd to confirm.

    Also, make sure all directories are set to 755 or rwxr-xr-x.
