[PLUG] CUPS Password Problem

I got the Brother MFC-7820N fax/printer and am trying to set it up using
CUPS. With Konqueror, I got to the web interface with CUPS,
http://localhost631/ and started poking around. The first entry on the
page is "Do Administration Tasks" which requires a user name and
password. I tried "root" and my root password, which the documentation
says should work. It doesn't. I get the error message:

Authentication Failed. Do you want to retry?

Any idea what to try next?

If it matters, this is a SuSE 10.1 installation.

TIA.
