Exit your browser.  Delete your cookies file.  Try again.  This is a
standard and well known problem (usually with IE from what I recall)
with browsers and cookies -- see the MailMan list archives for
further details.

As the problem is with your browser incorrectly handling MailMan's
authentication cookies that won't actually change anything.  You
need to fix the source of the problem -- your browser.
