Error during authentication

Question

I am getting following error while trying to login to Apex reports menu page. The application uses Database Authentication and there are no other validations. The database account i am using is open and password expiry time is 22-jan-2008. Also i am not getting it with certain DB accounts......
Any idea:
ORA-28007: the password cannot be reused ORA-06512: at "FLOWS_030000.WWV_FLOW_SECURITY", line 228 ORA-06512: at "SYS.WWV_FLOW_VAL", line 49 ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function
ERR-10480 Unable to run authentication credential check function

Scott:
Database version is 11.1.0.6
APEX version is 3.0.1
Application is the Oracle supplied Sample Application
For case 1 (during grace period): Login denied. The message shown is 'Password Expired' and it appears in the 'Notification Message' area.
For case 2 (during grace period): The answer is yes, it was the browser's Basic Authentication popup challenge dialogue.
For case 2(after grace period) - Login denied as in during grace period. 'Password Expired' message shown in the 'Notification Message' area.
For case 2(after grace period) Browser repeatedly presents the Authentication challenge dialogue. Cancel out this dialogue makes the browser render the standard '401 - Authorization Required' page with the following content -'This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.'
