While it could be a problem with crypt or encryption, usually
repeated requests for a password indicate a problem with session
handling or url redirects in the webserver.

In particular, if there are any url redirects being used to
access the page, then any passwords being submitted tend to get
lost in the redirect (which is why "disable clean urls" is a
common recommendation).

You might try explicitly setting $ScriptUrl in the local/config.php
file.  If that doesn't work, is there a url I could look at?

Also, try accessing pmwiki.php with ?action=diag -- what value
is being reported for 'DefaultPasswords'?
