Password authentication fails for PostgreSQL server connection [message #1702640]

I'm setting up a data connection to a PostgreSQL server (hosted on AWS) from BIRT on my Windows 7 machine. I downloaded and set up the PostgreSQL driver. My database connection fields now look like:
Driver class: org.postgresql.Driver (v9.1)
Database url: jdbc:postgresql://url:port/database_name
User name: xxxxxx
Password: xxxxxx

When I test the connection, I get the following error message:

There is an error in get connection, FATAL: password authentication failed for user "xxxxxx".

However, I'm CERTAIN I have my username and password entered correctly. We have fiddled with TCPIP settings (and restarted the database server) to no avail. Any idea what might be hindering my data source connection?

Can you connect using a tool such as Pgadmin on the same machine as the designer?
Have you checked the logs on the PostgreSQL side?
Usually PostgreSQL is setup by default to only accept connections for a specific IP Address range. If your IP Address is not within that range it will not allow a connection.
You should be able to get a more details message about the failure from the PostgreSQL log files.
