Sandbox API connection fails with Expired password error

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I keep experiencing this error with our Sandbox version of Salesforce. This morning SF set our login passwords to be expired and this crashed all our apps with this same error, but a quick update of the password on the production instance fixed this straight away. However I can not get the sandbox instance to respond at all, despite having changed the password many times. I keep getting the same error repeatedly.

The applications in question are PHP based that access the API and return the data to either Flex or HTML/Javascript client front ends. And as I said the production instance has no issues after a password reset, it is just the sandbox that will not respond to the new password.

Fatal error
: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [sf:INVALID_OPERATION_WITH_EXPIRED_PASSWORD] INVALID_OPERATION_WITH_EXPIRED_PASSWORD: The users password has expired, you must call SetPassword before attempting any other API operations

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

James
