Enterprise Manager Jobs Failing

Question

Hi,
I am a junior dba and I am having some issues with scheduled jobs on Enterprise Manager (10g). The previous dba (who has now left) setup jobs to backup the database and to backup the OEM database.
The job to backup the database was skipped. It's saying 'An execution in the current run or one of the previous runs was suspended by the system'. This job no longer has the status 'Scheduled'. Does this mean it will not run tonight as scheduled? I couldn't find anything in the OEM Admin guide to answer the question if a job is skipped will it run again as scheduled.
Another backup job is failed saying: ERROR: Invalid username and/or password... LOG: Local Authentication Failed...Attempt PAM authentication...PAM failed with error: ����. I assume from the 'Local Authentication Failed...', that there is a problem with the oracle user credentials on the unix box. This password has not changed though.
I am also looking for a history of the jobs but I cannot find this option on the OEM job page. I am completely lost with this and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Rgs,
Rob

I am seeing the below in the emagent.trc file:
SQL = "/* OracleOEM */
SELECT PC, PSM, TIMESTAMP
FROM "...
LOGIN = sys/<PW>@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=***)(PORT=****))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=****)))
